      Verdict

      It was heavy ground when TEO VIVO beat Sleepy Haven easily enough over today’s trip at Kelso last month with both Nuts Well and Meadowcroft Boy further behind. He’s upped 9lb for that success but should be in contention once again given he has a fitness advantage over the returning Vinciaettis. The latter won a novices’ event at Chepstow last year but hasn’t raced since beaten at Huntingdon in April. Raise A Spark won at Catterick recently but has been raised a couple of grades off a higher mark for this.
