Verdict
Mina Velour ended last year with a victory at Carlisle and is only 4lb higher on her reappearance while Buccaneers Vault won on good ground at Redcar last month but could only place in this higher grade at Newbury last time. TREACHEROUS moves in the opposite direction as he was beaten in a tougher sprint at Newcastle recently but scored at Goodwood before that and is reunited with winning partner Silvestre De Sousa for this. Spoof failed to win a race last year but finished closer at Windsor having slipped down the weights and returns to 6f.
