Verdict
Vanity Pays failed to win in Ireland in seven starts though has a shout for new connections on handicap ratings. But NAZRON (NAP) is preferred having placed in all four outings so far, including a neck defeat over course and distance last time. He’s weighted to beat Bath runner-up Jungle Jim but Gloves and Fidelius may well improve enough to get involved.
