      Verdict

      On A Session ran well at the Galway Festival at the start of the month and is one of three previous course and distance winners in this. Judgment Call is another and he holds the third member of the trio, Manigordo, on recent form though was beaten more than four lengths by Abduction at Ayr less than two weeks ago. LOVE DE VEGA has had a light campaign but came through strongly at Hamilton earlier this month to open his account for the season and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent a quick double.
