      Verdict

      Knockout Blow only won a seller over track and trip last time though this isn’t much tougher. Napping’s earlier success at Yarmouth came in soft ground while Cent Flying is back on a winning mark and has undergone wind surgery since last in action. TAWAAFOQ was placed at Chepstow on his first start for a new yard and belated seasonal debut. He’ll be sharper today and having won here off a 5lb higher mark last year, may well come out best in this and confirm latest running with Mad Endeavour in the process
