      Verdict

      TRAVELLER (NAP) has only won a maiden race so far but went close in a similar handicap to this over 7f here last time. He’s taken to come out best on this occasion given Alnasl failed to cope with a 6lb rise at Wolverhampton last week having landed a double before that. Heart Of Gold had been threatening to get her head in front before disappointing at Bath but Natajack has struggled since winning at Carlisle in July, though can race off a lower mark today.
