Verdict
Poyle Vinnie is up in class off a higher mark as he bids for a hat-trick and the treble-seeking Triple Chocolate makes more appeal after a couple of wins in this grade. Mishaal drops back in trip for this and Cape Of Hope won a seller over 7f at Leicester last month. Misplaced Fortune has a shout at this level if forgiven a poor effort at York but the vote goes to the lightly-raced FREE REIN to come good again after going close at Warwick recently.
