AZIONE has hardly been consistent but a change of scenery appears to have done her good and she gets the vote as she can race from the same mark as when successful at Exeter last week. Spinning Waters ran quite well at Bangor recently but he's a Chepstow specialist and likes faster going. Wine 'n Dine returned to action over timber after a long break and ran well enough to be considered though Gross Prophet looks the main threat as he won nicely at Chepstow and was still there with a chance when falling at Uttoxeter. Timetoring is consistent enough but needs a thorough test of stamina and a longer trip.
