Vibes has every chance at the weights but ran poorly over 7f at the end of last week while Assassinate faces higher rated opposition today having landed a claimer at Chepstow last time. Glory of Paris drops in class but has a bit to find on these terms with the likes of Tigerwolf, Acrux and BIG BRAVE BOB, who all share the same handicap mark. The former pair are usually thereabouts but the latter is less exposed and Richard Hughes’ three-year-old may prove best of these despite returning from a lay-off.
