        Verdict

        Velvet Vision, a winner at Newcastle last March, returned to action with a fair effort at Chelmsford and has to be respected from the same mark. Agar's Plough didn't win for Ed Dunlop but made a reasonable debut for Mick Easterby at Pontefract while Zorawar is consistent at this sort of level though 12lb higher than his last winning mark. Glacier Fox has never fulfilled early promise and was beaten 10l when third at Newcastle but WHATWOULDYOUKNOW won here in September and has also scored three times at Wolverhampton so he's handed the vote on his return to action.
