Verdict

Olly Murphy's NACHTGEIST gets the nod to build on his latest Worcester second. Seasett is potentially well treated for new trainer Mickey Bowen if a recent wind operation sparks an upturn in his fortunes. Divilabother and Palm Beach are others who could go well now setting out for new yards.
