Verdict

Hold Hands has been placed in a couple of maidens this year but didn't run very well last time at Salisbury. Sakhalin Star finished ahead of We'll Shake Hands at Ayr last month and only found one too good last time at Nottingham so enters calculations. Miningrocks hasn't been disgraced in a couple of recent races at Nottingham but SCENT OF POWER followed up victory here in a seller with an even better effort in a claimer and probably wouldn't need much more to take this.
