      Verdict

      EKLIL (NAP) clearly goes well here and also won over this trip at Bath last month. Callum Shepherd is on board again and Rae Guest’s gelding can defy a further 4lb rise in the weights ahead of the Lingfield and Nottingham runner-up God Of Thunder, who has gone up another 3lb, and Just A Tad, beaten off a lower mark at Haydock before getting off the mark in a Class 6 novice event on the all-weather.
