      Verdict

      Natural History has shown clear promise in novice company and his yard is enjoying an excellent spell but he's taking on recent winners in a tight contest. Oi The Clubb Oi's will have to improve on a narrow Nottingham handicap win but does receive weight all round, whilst the Ffos Las maiden win of Our Power hasn't worked out especially well but he's going the right way. Neverbeen To Paris bounced back to form in some style the last day and has a solid follow-up claim but unbeaten AL KHERB is taken to defy topweight. Adam McNamara claims a useful 3lb and the Charlton colt seemed well suited to the move up to 1m4f when scoring comfortably at Ripon. He should have more to come after just two starts and is best followed until beaten.
