      Verdict

      Rated 79, Napanook should arguably have won at this level by now but found one too good again at Kempton last time and PUNJAB MAIL may prove his undoing in this. The latter put a poor debut effort behind him when also finishing second at Kempton to Cool Reflection, rated 81, and Charlie Hills’ colt gets the vote on that form. Denis The Diva showed little progress on his latest outing but Congress Place can get involved and the newcomer Bold Print is preferred to Frequence.
