      Verdict

      TOPAMICHI won at Nottingham last month but was placed over 1m4f on the Fibresand either side of that. Mick Appleby’s charge arrives in better form than course and distance winner Swift Cedar but Vigee Le Brun was beaten only a neck at Nottingham during the summer and has her first start for new connections today. Sonnetist has only his third outing for David Evans having slipped down the weights and is preferred of the remainder.
