Shout wasn't beaten far just ten days ago and can make amends today with victory. Fort Churchill is now back to near a winning mark so makes the shortlist along with Lisathedaddy. The selection can be hit and miss at times but John Hills' filly ran well in defeat last time out and a repeat of that effort may be enough today. She stays further than this so will relish a truly run race and can win today. Fort Churchill hasn't been disgraced in better races than this one of late and is now only 1lb above his highest winning mark. He won't mind any further rain either. Lisathedaddy is a consistent mare and Brendan Powell's runner cannot be ruled out, although she does continue to edge up the weights. Punta Galera is well-weighted on old form and should be monitored for signs of confidence in the betting. Jamaahir should have come on for his recent run at Newbury so bears consideration, whilst Cape Greko is well by the selection on that run ten days ago. A tricky race for punters, however Shout can land the spoils.
