Verdict

There has to be a question mark over Avel Vor here after yet another failure at Wincanton last week while another four-year-old, Craftybird, probably has a bit to find at the weights. But Shady Lane opened his account at Fakenham last month while When Ben When has hinted at ability. So has French import Vent Nivernais, though he might need this. G'DAI SYDNEY won at Plumpton last month and was a close-up third off a 7lb higher mark at Wincanton on Boxing Day. He's gone up another 3lb but is progressing and gets the nod in this opener.
