        Verdict

        Vallarta is back on a winning mark and was placed again when third at Musselburgh. His turn is not far away while Meandmyshadow won off a similar mark at Newcastle in October and could be in the mix. Pushkin Museum has held his form well so far this year but is now 8lb higher than his win at Wolverhampton in Febuary and WILLBEME is preferred. The latter has plummeted down the weights and may finally end a long losing run today having gone close at Thirsk last time.
