        Verdict

        Velazquez has failed to show the progress expected and came up short in a maiden at Doncaster last time. He’s been gelded subsequently and may finish closer but QUICK CHANGE is preferred. The latter found only the favourite too good at Wolverhampton recently and any further progress could see her off the mark. Steppes will appreciate this shorter trip having faded badly on her debut while Glens Top Cat and Fellowship make most appeal of the newcomers.
