Verdict
Lawyer is 6lb higher on his return after ending last year with a double at Wolverhampton. Valen failed to cope in pattern company at the end of the season but had won nicely at Ffos Las earlier. However, a couple of these have a fitness advantage including Yagheer. He was sent off favourite when third at Redcar a fortnight ago and should make a bold bid but another chance goes to WESTMINSTER. The Fibresand winner didn't take to Windsor on his recent reappearance but this straight 7f on faster ground is expected to suit and he gets the vote. Free Code is another to note stepping up in trip on his reappearance.
