Verdict
Prince Of Vasa's improved effort at Redcar came in a claimer and Ghost remains out of sorts despite dropping down the weights. NOT MY CHOICE looked in the handicapper's grip until going close at Chester a week ago and David Griffiths' C&D winner may be ready to strike now off his current mark. Ginger Grey returns to action but is 7lb higher than when scoring at Doncaster in October, while Alpha Tauri has done all his winning on the all-weather. Lord Of The Dance showed signs of a return to form at Yarmouth last time and looks best of the rest.
