        Verdict

        Unlimited's last two wins over C&D have both been in sellers and more is needed back in handicap company. Copperwood just got the better of Spin Again here last time with Could It Magic beaten less than a length in third-place. He's 3lb higher here and not certain to confirm the form with today's rivals, but Conry has every chance back at this track for the first time since winning here in November. However, VANILLA RUM is back on a winning mark and is dropped in class after finishing a respectable fifth over C&D on his penultimate start and he gets the nod.
