      Verdict

      Don't Stop Now was staying on when third at Ludlow and will know more today but AUTHORISED SPEED enjoyed no luck in-running when a hot favourite at Market Rasen and should recoup losses if steering clear of traffic problems today. Star Path looks the stable’s second string but he has speed in his pedigree, as does Shining Blood.
