Verdict

SHRIMP SHADY has a progressive profile, going down only to one in the form of his life at Lingfield on his most recent outing and, with every reason to believe he’ll be at least as effective back on turf, he looks a solid proposition, especially with the still longer trip likely to be within range. Last year’s winner Gibside should be spot on for his repeat bid having warmed up with 2 runs over shorter trips, while St Faz continues to thrive for his current yard and must be shortlisted.
