        In depth

        Verdict

        Another interesting handicap where the vote goes to the unexposed AKINOSHIRABE. Kieren Fallon has already partnered this Shamardal filly to her maiden success at Newcastle in May, and she ran with credit when unlucky-in-running at Newbury when last seen in June, on what was her handicap debut. A strong pace would probably suit and she can come good. Lyric Poet comes here in good heart and with winning form at the trip and should be very competitive, while Sharedah is respected on this first public try on the surface. If you can forgive Tenesee a big flop last time then this course and distance scorer would have to have claims from this 5lb higher mark.
