      Verdict

      Beautiful Ending continues to suggest she's yet to get her act together fully but receives weight all round. Silverheels and Shahdaroba may just be in the assessor's grip at present and the latter, while useful, is also far from consistent. Naoise is a strong traveller and would make the short-list if taking up this engagement after a scheduled run at Hamilton on Wednesday. SPIRITING has been a tad disappointing to date this term but does remain a colt with potential. He took the step up to a mile in his stride last time in a decent Newmarket handicap and should go close here, especially if ridden with a little more restraint.
