VANITY AFFAIR has the most scope of these having lost nothing in defeat to Father Of Jazz in novice company at Chelmsford in January. That form suggests he can go one better now handicapping. Koola Buala never figured at Wolverhampton on his debut for new connections but better is expected back on the Turf while Be Fair finished closer at Kempton recently having slipped down the weights. Visibility has something to prove over this far and the returning Selecto is preferred.
