Verdict
VESPASIAN came up just short carrying a penalty in novice company at Southwell for an earlier success. He gets another chance now handicapping for the first time along with another novice winner in Yaahobby. The latter scored at Wolverhampton recently and is preferred to the more exposed types such as Lunasa, who won over the minimum trip here last month. Both Definitive Force and True Jem drop back down in class and neither can be ignored having won their penultimate starts.
