      Verdict

      Major Surprise should be in the thick of the action once again though he hasn't actually improved that much from his debut at Haydock in a couple of subsequent starts. But WEALTH should have come on for his debut fourth at Chester and the runner-up has since boosted the form with a victory. Richard Fahey's colt gets the nod given Porthos Du Vallon was still beaten 10 lengths when placed on his latest outing and the newcomer Maracuja makes more appeal as she's related to the high-class Viva Pataca.
