Shape Up landed a similar event to this at Newmarket last time and looks set for a repeat performance., with Yenaled and Rainstorm put forward as the main dangers. The selection had shown the ability to win races in the past, and it all came together as he made smooth progress over one furlong out and swept to the front for a comfortable success. Today's opposition are of no better quality and a follow up could be on the cards. Yenaled is in top form at the moment, the seven-year-old is chasing a hat-trick following victories at Beverley and Southwell and should give Shape Up plenty to think about. Rainstorm is very well treated on his best form and could be best of the others. However the manor of Shape Up's Newmarket success suggests there could be more to come and he is our confident choice.
