      Verdict

      A couple of these are dropped in class with NAABEGHA preferred to Apostle. The former need only repeat his fourth to Horsted Keynes over track and trip in October to come out best. Apostle scored over today's distance at Kempton in the same month and has every chance on that form, though Mr David could only manage fourth when sent off joint-favourite in a claimer at the same track last time. Polar Kite looks best of the remainder on today's terms but he's struggling for form at present.
