Verdict

LIKEASHADOW looks the way to go here given he can race off the same mark as when a good second to East Bank over C&D last time out and meets that rival on 6 lb better terms now. Craig Lidster's penalised 3-y-o still rates the chief danger however, with Bits And Bobs another who can have a say in an open contest.
