Vivo Per Lei finally got off the mark when successful at Lingfield and is upped 4lb. REZWAAN posted one of his occasional poor efforts behind the former last time but had gone close over 1m2f here before that. He won last year’s renewal off a higher mark and gets a tentative vote. Top Pocket has yet to win anywhere yet but has been placed on his last three starts now after a third at Lingfield while Cape Spirit drops back down a grade after a better effort at Haydock. Awesome Rock is not the most reliable but has been placed a couple of times this year off similar marks.
