      Verdict

      TAWAKKOL (NAP) has the advantage of a run under his belt having only been beaten a couple of lengths at Kempton. It could pay to stick with Mark Johnston's colt rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. Of the latter group, Black Magic is a half-brother to a couple of winning sprinters and Racing Venture is related to a winner in Italy but Four's Company and Calpurnia may need further to show their best.
