Verdict

A few in with a squeak here but a chance is taken on POTENZA, who did a bit too much too soon on his return to the Flat at Lingfield last month but was competitve from this sort of mark towards the back end of the turf season last year. Heart of Soul landed this contest in 2019 and he's taken to chase the selection home on reappearance, ahead of stable-switcher Carlos Felix.
