      Verdict

      Today Please is not badly weighted back over fences on an earlier second at Worcester and can figure but Weyburn has struggled since winning over 2m4f here in December. ULIS DE VASSY disappointed at Uttoxeter last time but that came only five days after scoring over course and distance. Laura Morgan’s charge gets another chance in this given Royal Act returned to his more normal poor form on his latest start and L'es Fremantle is even harder to fancy.
