There are various angles that you can approach this tricky handicap from and kudos should be given to DEFINATELY VINNIE despite still being a maiden over fences. He came very close to changing that statistic last time when just caught close home by one who was well-in off her mark and a similar run will see him go close. Frankly Speaking made an encouraging return to action via a wind op when taking second here last time with the winner boosting the form subsequently, the cheekpieces need to work again. Conas Taoi has the credentials to win a race such as this although his stable could be in better form whilst the trip and ground throw question marks over the chance of Tudors Treasure.
