Verdict

It's been sometime since LORD OFTHE SHADOWS won but the handicapper has given him a chance dropping him another couple of pounds after a recent fourth at Lingfield. He finished ahead of previous dual winner Mister Musicmaster last time so Richard Hannon's charge gets the nod. Rakaan is usually thereabouts but hard to catch right. He's good enough at this level if in the mood but the likes of Brimstone Hill, Paphos and Russian Ice will all find this tougher than their recent tasks. Afkar and Lady Macduff have claims on the best of last year's form and could figure.
