        Verdict

        BERTIE BLU BOY (NAP) returned to form with a win over course and distance last week and is worth sticking with given he also won last year's renewal. He's preferred to 6f winner Bookmaker but Major Muscari is usually thereabouts at this level and is one to consider. West Leake finished ahead of Kings Chapel when fourth at Kempton last time but Skidby Mill is back on a winning mark and makes more appeal.
