      Verdict

      Nibras Shadow has suddenly found her form since racing on Tapeta but will need to transfer that improvement to today's surface. Inflamed hasn't been seen since completing a double in convincing fashion at Wolverhampton in October 2019 so is likely to need this and the vote goes to VASCO DE GAMA. Gay Kelleway's charge has only shown moderate form since arriving from France but did much better over 1m2f at Windsor last time where he had every chance at this trip. Light Up Our Stars won over the track and trip in October and is 2lb lower.
