        Verdict

        SO SMART (NAP) makes most appeal having won with plenty to spare in the heavy going at Leicester a couple of days ago. An apprentice’s allowance negates most of today’s penalty and David Evans’ charge can go in again. High Opinion went close here on his handicap debut and is preferred to The Daley Express while Colombe drops back down to handicap company and should have the measure of Helvetian and Rabat.
