        Verdict

        FEAR NOTHING beat Spirit Of Coniston at Doncaster last week. This looks less competitive and David O'Meara's charge can confirm superiority and go in again. Greenhead High is slipping down the weights but getting no closer and the same can be said of Not Bad For A Boy. Star Kingdom showed glimpses of a return to form at Brighton last time and could get involved off his current mark and Myjestic Melody can make the frame with a repeat of her second at Thirsk last month.
