        Verdict

        The Balding team has enjoyed a splendid month and another victory for FLASHCARD (NAP), who caused a 33-1 shock over course and distance on debut, can add to the tally. There appeared no fluke about his convincing success over Dirty Rascal and Tin Hat and he can follow up under his penalty. John Betjeman has shown consistent form in all four starts but is starting to look a tad exposed and the other two with runs under their respective belts will need to find considerable improvement. Emeraldsandpearls makes most appeal of the newcomers for a yard that frequently unveils useful sorts at this track and Garrison Commander is also worth checking in the market.
