Verdict

VICENTE has won the last two renewals of the days feature contest and he can complete a hat-trick by taking this off a mark 4lb higher than when winning here last year. The selection has been below par on ground softer than ideal the last twice but with good ground forecast today he can get the better of Fagan who hails from a leading stable and is likely to appreciate the step up in trip on his first outing since October. Ballyoptic finished a credible fourth in a Grade 1 last time out and he can claim third on handicap debut while Vintage Clouds, seventh in this 12 months ago is another likely to perform well.
