Verdict

Word Of Honour went close in a selling handicap here before disappointing at Chelmsford while Katelli attempts today’s trip for the first time on the back of better efforts over 6f. Everkyllachy has done all her winning over shorter distances so far but Velvet Vista scored over 7f at Chelmsford when landing a classified event. VIOLA PARK is a course and distance winner and may have finally slid far enough down the weights to get his head back in front after finishing a couple of lengths behind Heptathlete, who has since gone in again.
