Verdict
Owen Na View is back in the right grade but is high enough in the weights at present and really needs quicker conditions. NOCHE DE REYES (NAP) certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn and beat Tornado In Milan with the proverbial ton in hand over this course and distance in April. Though the latter is 11lb better off, that form can be confirmed as Evan Williams' 10-year-old is better when the mud is flying. Williams also runs Going Concern but he needs more and neither Walden Prince nor Last Shot make much appeal, the latter having finished down the field at Exeter yesterday.
