    Verdict

    Viking Dancer went close at Chepstow last September and may have improved in the interim. But, he has to give plenty of weight to the three-year-olds on his comeback and the race-fit BOSAMBO looks to have the edge. Alan Swinbank's gelding is steadily improving and finished clear of the rest when just held by Social Forum over C&D last time. He can open his account here with more to come. Uncle Dermot looks pretty exposed and hard to fancy on his reappearance, while Big City Boy has shown no worthwhile form so far.
