        Verdict

        VINCES has so far done all of his winning on the Polytrack, but he's slid down the weights and gets a speculative vote after finishing runner-up over C&D last month. Gems also looks to have a good chance off her current mark given she went close at Bath on her latest start, while Astroleo drops back in trip after his recent second at Yarmouth. Galiotto is another to consider as he won over hurdles in March and is only 2lb higher than when scoring over C&D last year.
