Sharjah and Shake The Bucket are both on nine track victories, just one behind the record. The former isn't doing much wrong but could probably do with a few pounds off in the ratings. Poitin, who has five track victories to his credit, looks ready to win again soon judging by his narrow defeat by the in-form Miss Snossyboots last month and that form would see him in the frame. Exclusive Waters has finished behind Wild Shot the last three times and connections will be pleased he's not here while maiden ROYAL ADMIRAL tackles this longer trip for the fist time. Ado McGuinness' charge was staying on strongly over the extended 1m2f here on his reappearance and can finally get off the mark.
