Verdict

VANTHEMAN confirmed the promise of his efforts in some strong 3-y-o handicaps when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago and he appeals as the type to go well again from his revised mark. American Affair continues to thrive and was only just foiled in his bid for the £100,000 bonus at Haydock 2 weeks ago. He's a big threat, as is Dream Composer re-united with Joe Leavy.
