        Verdict

        Few arrive in decent form but Vasco Da Gama has posted a couple of better efforts recently without looking like winning. MAYSONG also came up with an improved effort when runner-up at Sandown recently and may finally have fallen far enough down the weights to end a long losing run. Lafan looks no nearer winning though has been gelded since last in action and Secret Moment remains unexposed.
