      Verdict

      This is a wide open contest to open the card and the leading lights look to be Security Tiger, Shake On It and Porcelain and the vote is given to Shake On It. The selection did not show much on his debut but he left that running behind when only narrowly beaten by Buccellati at Warwick last time. He has the plum draw today and sets the standard for the rest. Security Tiger was disappointing in a better race than this at York last time but she had previously put up a fair effort at Salisbury when finishing fifth behind Streets Ahead. She is well-drawn today and she should go well at a price. Porcelain showed she has ability on her debut when finishing a fair fourth behind Camwell at Thirsk. If she improves she should be thereabouts at the finish but she is not ideally drawn in stall 9. Angeletta finished behind our selection last time but she did not get a clear run that day and she is another with claims. However, for the winner we are happy to return to Shake On It.
