Verdict
ITO DITTO returned to action with his best effort to date when successful at Chepstow and may be worth sticking with. Asian Spice also left her previous form behind when successful over track and trip while Gerard Mentor had been in the mix on fast ground before struggling at Warwick. Orchard Grove placed at Bangor over a year ago while Fourofakind drops down in class and may finish closer.
