      Verdict

      Three stand out in this including the recent course and distance runner-up Sheila's Footsteps. He should be in the mix once again, as should Irish Tears, second at Kempton on his latest start. But FINE VINTAGE finished behind a subsequent winner when third at Wolverhampton on his racecourse debut and normal progress should see the half-brother to Polytrack winner Horsted Keynes off the mark. Timeless War makes a quick reappearance having found The Third Man much too good over 7f here during the week.
