      Verdict

      PROMPTING didn’t show that much improvement despite finishing second here last time, though he separated higher rated horses than these. He may prove good enough on that form and is preferred to Treble Clef, who placed over 6f at Kempton last time. Meghan Sparkle hasn’t raced since last summer and Mister Dependable missed the whole of last year but has switched to Tony Carroll’s in-form yard and can figure if running anywhere near his mark. The remaining pair are easily dismissed.
