DARK SHIFT is tailor-made for these type of races and can enhance his excellent Ascot record further and follow-up his Royal Hunt Cup win. There is a bigger performance in Air To Air, who impressed in his successful Yarmouth comeback, and can go well. Tactical has another big pot in him, while Fresh, one of several not seen to best effect in the Wokingham, deserves a change of luck.
