Verdict

VIA EGNATIA can return to the form that saw him win a maiden comfortably at Newmarket last year and connections had a winner here on Wednesday. It would be no surprise to see Sharp Defence run well under a penalty if the ground stays on the fast side while Rebel De Lope should come on for his recent reappearance at Sandown.
