A few with chances but it could pay to side with VALVANO to return in style after a break and capitalise on a handy-looking mark for his in-form yard. Dual C&D winner Shiplake could emerge as the main danger now back over 7f, although Brian Toomey's new recruit Tina's Indian is worth a market check with Billy Loughnane in the saddle.
