        Verdict

        Vital Evidence, Lady Pimpernel and Gone Dutch all ran shockers on their latest starts but have the past form to figure if back to their best. Windsor winner Tobacco Road has been well beaten subsequently and has a 7lb claimer on board today as Richard Hughes renews acquaintances with KASTINI. The latter pair won at Newbury last month and Denis Coakley's charge is taken to reverse latest running over track and trip with Chain Of Events, who won this in 2012. Sheila's Buddy went close at Windsor recently and looks best of the rest.
