        Verdict

        SCRAFTON (NAP) is an obvious choice given he’s a winner without a penalty. He beat third-placed Tingo In The Tale to land an apprentice’s race over track and trip last week and can go in again. Dream Serenade scored over 2m here recently and carries 6lb extra attempting to confirm running with Lineman while Tred Softly won over 1m4f here last month but was well beaten on a previous attempt over today’s trip. Iona Island is still looking for her first success after placing over 1m4f at Kempton and Asian Wing has won five times over shorter distances at Dundalk.
