Verdict
MOUNT VESUVIUS has gone close the last twice including in a higher grade at Newton Abbot last time. He should be in the firing-line once again and is taken to confirm latest running with Whitstable Native. The latter was not far away in third and can also figure while Osgood was narrowly beaten at Fontwell recently when ahead of Zarawi. Mondello finished runner-up over a longer trip at Uttoxeter on his latest start but Skint has something to find with the selection.
