    Verdict

    Vital Evidence made mistakes before falling at Doncaster last week and faces a quick turnaround. He's best watched here while Days Ahead has shown nothing since returning from a year on the sidelines. THANKYOU VERY MUCH has looked progressive over fences and she had a fair bit in hand at Musselburgh. James Bethell's mare has another 7lb to carry but should follow up even though Nefyn Bay was only beaten a head at Hexham off this mark two runs ago.
