Verdict
This won't take much winning and a nominal vote goes the way of VINCESON. Jessica Westwood's charge was third on fast going at Worcester in July and found 3m3f too far last time at Newton Abbot. Yabadabadoo also has the past form to figure but may need to drop a few pounds before getting off the mark. Ni Sin E Mo Ainm makes his debut for a new yard while State Department has been a huge disappointment and the mare Alderley Heights has got nowhere near so far in three runs over timber.
