Verdict

Va'Vite was due to run at Aintree on Friday evening but would have to go on the short-list if turned out again quickly here. Danceintothelight has run on the Flat since falling at Sedgefield while Brassick, Points Of View, E Major and Dizzy River are all returning from lay-offs of one sort or another, though the bottom weight would have a definite chance if fully wound-up. IOLITH may have found his run at Stratford last month coming too soon after a promising reappearance at Newbury. He's had another five weeks to recover and could be ready to add to his tally now.
