Verdict

Vertueux ended last season with a double on Turf. He's been competing over obstacles since and may get involved back on the level. TOKYO BROWN bids for hat-trick after following up a victory over track and trip with success at Lingfield. This is less competitive than his latest task and Heather Main's charge gets the vote. Celebrian has a couple of placed efforts to recommend her including a fourth here last time and Divea also made the frame at the track on her latest outing back in September.
