        Verdict

        It’s difficult to get away from CHEEKY RASCAL (NAP) in the second division of this handicap. Though beaten less than a length by the in-form Beau Geste here last week, the handicapper has dropped him a pound. Traveller has scored twice here since the turn of the year but he’s a model of inconsistency and is far from certain to confirm latest running with runner-up Amor Fati. None of the others make much appeal on recent form.
