Verdict

Handytalk and Vape have been thereabouts over 6f recently while Symbol of Hope has already won twice here this year and placed again last week. Portelet Bay was winning off a higher mark here last summer and gets a change of headgear but POP DANCER finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when third at Wolverhampton and gets a speculative vote to return to winning ways. Kodiak Attack may prove best of the rest.
