Verdict

VALVANO is threatening to come good soon and a strongly-run 1m on testing ground could be ideal. The thriving Walsingham is an obvious threat and remains fresh for this time of year, while his stablemate Theoryofeverything has conditions to suit back down in class.

2	Scored at Ayr in July and proved at least as good as ever when runner-up back over that C&D in September.
