        Verdict

        A 2 mile Handicap with an open look to it,but Velvet Heights is the selection on the basis of a god second at Doncaster last October behind Toldo in a big field.Establishment 4th behind Cold Turkey at Kempton 11 days ago reads well as does the in form Gary Moore's Wait For The Will who finished 5th behind Maystock last November.But Velvet Heights is the choice first time out.
