Verdict

With a career strike-rate of just 1-35, Definately Vinnie has become expensive to follow. Tudors Treasure won twice at Exeter in the spring but returns to action off a 7lb higher mark. Lac Sacre and Cruising Bye are previous course winners but so is CONAS TAOI (NAP), who is likely to be staying on when others have cried enough. The latter is still 6lb higher than when scoring over 3m2f at Carlisle in February but will be all the better for last month’s third at Hereford.
