DESERT SHADOW had so much to spare over C&D last time that even a 9 lb rise may not stop him. God of War catches the eye having dropped to 4 lb below the mark he defied in this race last year and is second choice. Shameful has been off the track for a long time but Clive Cox has his team in form and a good record fresh means it would be no surprise were this low-mileage 4-y-o to make an impact.
