Verdict
Dagian won at Bath recently and is upped 5lb but My Boy Sepoy has been raised only 3lb for scoring at the same track last month. Narodowa went close at Chelmsford last time and Know Your Limit was placed in an amateurs' race at Newmarket while Purple Rock posted a much better effort at Nottingham on his latest start. Perfect Refuge won a lower grade contest at Windsor but has plenty of scope for further progress, as does SUNDAY PROSPECT. The latter steps up in trip having placed at Kempton on his belated seasonal debut and Karl Burke’s charge gets a speculative vote in an open contest.
