Verdict
Pammi narrowly beat French Heroine over course an distance recently with Glan Y Gors further behind. The first two look sure to be thereabouts once again but VISITANT (NAP) is taken to come out best. He bounced back to form over track and trip last month when just missing out to Trautmann, due to run earlier on the card, and David Thompson's charge can take advantage of a slide down the weights having won off a 10lb higher mark at York last year. Glasgon went close at Southwell recently but has won here before while Dolphin Village is looking to end a long losing run having posted a better effort at Lingfield last time.
