      Verdict

      Handytalk won over an extended 5f at Bath recently and is 5lb higher as he returns to this longer trip. Honiara arrives in good form though his earlier win at Brighton came in an amateurs’ race while Frank Bridge has been raised a further 3lb after going close over a longer trip here a fortnight ago. HUMAN NATURE (NAP) missed most of last year but returned to winning ways in an apprentices’ race at Kempton last week with Sarangoo and Saleh behind. He escapes a penalty for that success and can go in again.
