Shaheer is in good form and is preferred here to Mighty Dancer and Park Lane Princess. The selection ran right up to his best when a good second behind Seattle Robber last time at Bath. A reproduction of that effort should suffice here and he is taken to score. Mighty Dancer was a fair fourth behind Gizmondo last time and that form would give him a shout here in what is a very weak contest. He has never won a race but he will get maximum assistance from Ryan Moore in the saddle so he is considered. Park Lane Princess was stepped-up in trip last time and shaped encouragingly and she is interesting over this distance tonight. Cool Isle was a fair second behind Peak Seasons at Yarmouth last time and looks the best of the remainder although her overall profile is far from convincing. However, Shaheer ran as if his turn would not be far away last time and he gets the vote.
