    Verdict

    Willie Muir's Ever So Bold made an encouraging return on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton earlier this month and has every chance if able to reproduce a similar level of form back on turf, while recent course winner Al Jaadl is not certain to appreciate the step up to a mile and a better bet looks to be THE SHUFFLER. Gary Moore's gelding was a good winner at Brighton three starts ago, has run well in defeat in both starts since then in handicaps at Windsor and he looks worth siding with in this company to resume winning ways. Mark Johnston's Omaruru remains a maiden and looks best watched, while Harry Dunlop's Santa Margherita has similarly yet to open her account from admittedly just three starts. Mick Channon's White Dart is capable but inconsistent and preference is for The Shuffler, who can resume winning ways.
