      Verdict

      Vinnie The Hoddie got back to winning ways here in March and seems to need time between his races nowadays. Yccs Portocervo slips further down the weights with cheekpieces applied but a couple of runs over hurdles may have boosted the confidence of FAT SAM, who looked a promising type when winning three times last year over the larger obstacles. French import Secret Boris may be best watched after a lengthy absence.
