      Verdict

      Eased in grade, VALLERES should be winning this if anywhere near his best, though Little Awkward was impressive at Plumpton and did win a bumper here last August on his racecourse debut. Ozzie Man won a point and has placed in a bumper and is probably the only other worthy of a mention.
