      Verdict

      VIBRATO VALTAT (NAP) has slowly slipped down the weights since landing the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in 2015. Back in handicap company today, Paul Nicholls’ charge can give weight away to these as he finished runner-up in a Listed chase at Kempton last time when Activial unseated early on in the race. The latter is not out of this with a clear round but Cold March is upped 6lb for winning a handicap at Musselburgh last time. Templehills has fallen either side of scoring at Fakenham in December while On Tour and No Buts are both struggling for form, though the former drops back down in class for this.
