      Verdict

      Course winner Street Parade rounded off last year by winning at Chelmsford. Batchelor Boy is seeking a fourth course victory but BIG BARD (NAP) also goes well here and he has already opened his account for the season. Despite a penalty for winning at Windsor nine days ago, he is still receiving weight all round from modest opposition. Pinwheel has a lot to prove at present while Jupiter Express was entered in the 1.50 here yesterday.
