      Verdict

      Ummalnar hasn’t raced since winning easily at Dundalk back in November and Vintager won his only start of last year on a trip over to France last month. Bless Him failed to win a race in 2020 and has been off the track since September but Born To Be Alive went close over a longer distance at Wolverhampton on his first outing since 2018. COUNT OF AMAZONIA will need to show further progress on these terms but may well do so having won both starts since joining Marco Botti and fitted with a tongue-tie and there looks even more to come from him.
