Tony Carroll has his team in fine form and Vertueux looks to have an excellent chance of bottom weight in the opener at Sandown today (2.20).
The ex-French gelding has been steadily coming to hand and ran an eyecatching race last time out when a staying on fourth in a claimer at Doncaster.
Connections have booked a telented amateur to partner him this afternoon, and If continuing with the progress he showed at Donny last Friday he could be potentially well handicapped in a contest that lacks any real strength in depth.
*Vertueux is currently a top priced 9-2
