        Verdict

        Vape beat Spring Romance by a short-head over track and trip a fortnight ago and that pair are hard to separate. Samovar had stablemate Dark Shot back in third when scoring over the minimum trip here just two days ago and is penalised 5lb but this looks an open sprint and a speculative vote goes to ZYLAN. The latter has been racing over 7f here recently but won off a 9lb higher mark over track and trip last January and could bounce back at any time. Fantasy Keeper has struggled since winning at Newcastle and Pull Harder Con disappointed back here attempting to land a hat-trick.
