Verdict

Vinciaettis could be on a fair mark for his handicap debut, with Southern based form often appearing much stronger than that from the North. However, he will need to be fully tuned up on his return from a break, and have learned to settle better than when stepped up in trip on his final start in novice company to be able to see off the battle hardy TEO VIVO. The handicapper has had a go at the Pauline Robson trained ten-year-old since Kelso, but he can again be fancied to defeat both Sleepy Haven and Nuts Well despite a 9lb rise and the burden of top weight in likely desperate holding conditions. 1. Teo Vivo 2. Nuts Well 3. Vinciaettis
