      Verdict

      SHAHEEN should be a warm order to follow up his Pontefract victory, despite a 4lb rise. He drops down a grade, though is probably at his best on fast ground. Equitant has run well enough in his three starts this term and is on a fair mark at present but is another who likes to hear his hooves rattle. Gnaad returns from a break but may still be a better bet than Danish Duke and Tommy G. Star Cracker has gone off the boil and the bottom two are a long way out of the handicap.
