SHANKO showed plenty of pace when making a winning debut over 6f here and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. Stuart Williams’ charge can defy a penalty dropping down in trip. Crush And Run also made a decent start when third over 6f at Lingfield while the more-exposed Profit And Loss is weighted to beat Canmore. Music Banner has his first start since last summer while the newcomer Mick Mchugh is a half-brother to three winners.
