      Verdict

      Rated 77, Callianassa sets the standard back at this level having failed to win in handicaps. But NEAPOLITAN (NAP) was narrowly beaten carrying a penalty at Chelmsford and returns to his winning trip for a yard in red-hot form. Lou Lou's Gift is fitted with a combination of headgear having returned a beaten favourite over track and trip while Front Gunner ran well over the minimum trip here on his debut. The newcomer Musical Touch may prove best of the rest.
