    Verdict

    Vina Bay recorded a hat-trick on the Polytrack early last year but has struggled since and returns to action along with Deep Sigh. The latter won over a mile last year but the veteran LOPES DANCER is a course and distance winner. Placed in an apprentices race at Pontefract subsequently, he gets the vote with Oisin McSweeney allowed to utilise his 5lb claim on this occasion. Shielded has been well beaten over hurdles recently and is fitted with a combination of headgear back in this code.
