Verdict
Naughty Rascal was a decent juvenile and has been highly tried in two runs this season. He’s entitled to go close in this company, though is having a first run over the minimum trip. Shining made all at Bath but that was only a Class 5 and she’s 4lb higher now. DARK SHADOW only won by a neck at Bath a month ago but was always holding the runner-up. Clive Cox’ grey has also been raised 4lb but a double may be on the cards. Thegreatestshowman rarely runs a bad race but the handicapper is refusing to lessen his grip.
