      Verdict

      Course regular GREAT COLACI has won seven times here and finished well ahead of Zeimaam when placed over track and trip last month. He can return to winning ways in this given Lion Tower hasn’t raced since a string of placed efforts at the end of last year and has been gelded subsequently. Overwrite continues to struggle and an apprentice takes 5lb off his back today while Aweedram still looks high enough in the weights.
