      Verdict

      Dutch Melody was due to run yesterday at Brighton and would be an outsider in any case. It’s also hard to fancy Bonny Blue and Isla Skye so this looks a straight match between HERITAGE, eased in grade after four runs in handicaps this year, and the less-exposed Vandella. The latter was second twice on Polytrack for John Gosden in January but is having a first run for new connections after a lay-off and she may find one too good again.
