      Verdict

      SIGNPOSTED very much caught the eye when fifth in what looked a hot maiden at Newbury 10 days ago. Andrew Balding's colt has some fancy entries and can improve past the more exposed Lincoln, who ran his best race so far at Chester earlier this month but never really looked like catching the winner. Ellalan has been placed at Sandown and Doncaster in his last two starts and should make the frame again but Morally Bankrupt and Speedbird One both need more.
