        Verdict

        Vedelle gets the confident vote here with Keepatem and The Gangerman rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Sharp Belline and although higher in the weights and his yard are quiet at present you could get a bigger price with this in mind and under conditions that suit he is hard to oppose. Keepatem rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Leading Authority last time and on jockey bookings he looks the stables second string. The Gangerman is another that could go well on his latest second behind Arnold Layne. He remains on a fair mark and with his yard continuing in good form he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Sharp Belline is weighted to get closer to the selection on these revised terms but he still has a little to find while Waking Ned may just need the run after a 248 day break and for the winner we return to Vedelle who still looks ahead of the handicapper.
