AD VITAM has slid down the weights in the last year and a recent third over course and distance suggests the veteran is still capable of winning at this level. Fikhaar went close over 6f at Chelmsford last time and How's Lucy was placed over a mile at the same track on her latest start. Spoken Words was runner-up over the minimum distance recently and has won over track and trip before while the returning Play With Me is the least exposed having only her second start in a handicap.
