Verdict

No recent winning form on offer but SPLASH OF VERVE was beaten only a neck over track and trip in October and gets the vote on that form having subsequently run well again at Wolverhampton. Mdina is fitted with headgear after a better effort at the latter track and could figure while the three-year-olds Aqaareb and Henley Park have more scope than most of these stepping up in distance today.
