Verdict
It took Selecto 23 attempts to open his account but he finally won over 1m2f here a fortnight ago. However, RESET BUTTON looks the more reliable having gone close either side of winning at Wolverhampton and can go in again at this lowly level. Vertice scored over track and trip in October though ran below par when favourite at Southwell last time so Amourie may prove best of the rest on her first outing since September.
