Verdict

Hey Ho Let's Go missed out on a hat-trick of course wins when only fourth here last time. He beat subsequent winner Lethal Blast and AGUEROOO here in March but the former has been raised 7lb for his recent success and the latter is taken to come out best this time on more favourable terms. Vandad was thereabouts over 6f here at the turn of the year and has switched yards while Shining went close when last racing over track and trip.
