Verdict

FIESTA DE VEGA is potentially useful if his problems are behind him so he gets the nod to make a succecssful return from a lay-off, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Killarney debut scorer Minister For Magic rates an obvious threat on her first start for new connections, while L'Enclume showed promise here last time and is open to further progress.
