        Verdict

        Spirit Of The Vale won a lower grade contest over track and trip in January but failed to cope under a penalty last time. Kerry Icon and Dancin Alpha are both still searching for their first wins but the former is preferred on last month’s fourth at the track. EMBANKMENT won over today’s trip at Lingfield last summer and had his first start since September when fourth over a mile here recently. Michael Attwater’s charge should be sharper for that and can go close in this company. Innoko is now back on the same mark as when scoring at Chepstow last year and may prove best of the rest.
