        Verdict

        Nao Da Mais recorded a second course victory with a career-best last month but has gone up another 6lb, though should again beat Naval Commander, True Courage and Spring Glow. SILVERSCAPE ran in snatches when beaten half-a-length by Natchez Trace here last time. He’s had a wind operation since and is 2lb better off so may well turn the tables on the subsequent Nottingham third. Sea The Casper seeks a fourth win of the year and is still in good form. He’s been quite highly tried since a victory over track and trip in August but is still 5lb higher.
