        Verdict

        LILKIAN (NAP) gained the 12th all-weather victory of his career at Lingfield last week under Liam Wright and can defy a penalty as he had plenty in hand. Masterclass, a winner at Yarmouth in August, dropped into claiming company when a close second at Kempton while Starsong is back on the same mark as when scoring here in February. Confederation was in good form from higher marks than this at the beginning of the year but Crown Dreams was disappointing when well supported at Newcastle in September.
