Verdict
SHAHZAN is given another chance having found a couple of previous winners too good when favourite over track and trip last month. An apprentice's 7lb claim gives him an edge in this and he should make no mistake this time. Ertikaan beat lower rated rivals in a claimer over 6f at Kempton recently and will find this tougher and Prince Of Burma makes more appeal with a recent comeback run at the same track under his belt. The latter's stablemate Crew Cut has yet to prove he stays today's distance but Cut Across has claims off his current mark.
