Verdict

After opening his account at Newmarket, VALUE THEORY acquitted himself well in pattern company twice last year so, despite conceding weight all round, Mark Johnston's likeable filly gets the vote to make a successful return under a likely positive ride from stall 2. If the race is run to suit, Atrium can get involved, and Desert Angel is hard to rule out on the back of a solid effort at Wolverhampton.
