Verdict

CAPTAIN VALLO has been in good form here and won over track and trip before missing out by only a head last time. He finished in front of both Fortamour and Equiano Springs and another bold bid is expected. Lezardrieux missed out on a hat-trick of Turf wins at Nottingham and debuts on the all-weather, along with Oso Rapido, while Ginger Jam returns to a longer trip. River Tweed is the least exposed making his handicap debut having won in novice company at Redcar.
