      Verdict

      It looked like the handicapper had caught up with John Potts last month when he suffered a couple of defeats, but he's bounced back with another two wins since then, and has now scored six times here since December. However, STRONG VIGILANCE beat him fair and square over C&D when they last met and Michael Bell's charge is taken to confirm that running on better terms today. Black Coffee also excels at this track, but he's worse off at the weights with The Winged Assasin after beating the latter here last month and Shaun Lycett's charge may come out best today.
