        Verdict

        Kevin Ryan runs a couple of penalised winners with ALIA CHOICE preferred. The latter won over course and distance with plenty in hand and that looks stronger form than Sweet Glance’s success at Wolverhampton in December. Intelligentsia made a winning debut over 6f at Newbury before struggling in Group 3 company and returns to action with a chance back at this level while Sousa is preferred to Bear Profit of the newcomers.
