Verdict

The impeccably bred NAQEEB wasn't extended when bolting up at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his overall form reading very well (runner-up behind Middle Earth on penultimate start) he's fancied to make a bold bid now his sights are set on handicaps/upped in trip. Denmark and Lordship, who both made the frame in the highly-competitive Melrose Handicap at York 2 weeks ago, are others expected to play lead roles.
