      Verdict

      NARCOS came home strongly to land the spoils over 7f at Doncaster and shouldn’t have any problems with the extra furlong. If he handles today’s much different surface, he’s probably the one to beat as Bold Reason only showed modest ability when fourth at Sandown, though will know more today. Real Gent is another likely improver and he has more scope than the twice-placed Skito Soldier.
