VELAZQUEZ failed to match the form of his Sandown second in July in 2 subsequent starts on turf last season, yet it's feasible to think gelding him will have had a positive effect and he's worth a chance to get back on track. Quick Change can emerge as the chief threat, whilst Fellowship and Glens Top Cat may do best of the remainder.
