Verdict

Minella On Line is hard to catch right but stayed on well behind Treakle Tart at Doncaster in December. Exitas is back on a winning mark and Tabitha Worsley takes off a further 7lb but this may be too far for Hammersly Lake and Vaxalco appears to have little chance from 13lb out of the handicap. VALUE AT RISK ran very well at Ayr 10 days ago and is worth another try over 3m around here.
