        Verdict

        VINTAGE CHOICE is penalised for scoring at Redcar in September. But the runner-up has subsequently won and the William Haggas-trained colt should be in the mix one again. Encourageable found another Haggas runner too good at Doncaster last month but is not out of this and is preferred to the returning Glory Nights. Awaal cost £350,000 at last year’s Breeze Ups as a half-brother to Group 2 winner Breton Rock and is a newcomer to consider.
