Verdict

IL VA DE SOI emerged from a spell in the doldrums when capitalising on a career-low mark over C&D 11 days ago and still well-in old form, a bold follow-up bid could well be on the cards. Taunton scorer Crest of Stars appeals as the type to benefit from this further increase in trip and is feared most. Jimmy Hurdstrom completes the shortlist.
