Verdict

Declan Carroll sends the very progressive Shawaamekh on the long journey from East Yorkshire though he'll have been hoping for softer ground for the York and Thirsk winner. Admiralty is another long-distance traveller who hasn't been beaten far in some top handicaps but JASSAAR continued his excellent progress when landing the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh where he caught Current Option in the closing stages. The winner can confirm the form, though Ice Cold In Alex wasn't far behind and should also get into contention. Viadera has a touch of class and scored at the Curragh in May from just 1lb lower in her only handicap start while Bopedro comfortably beat Current Option at Cork and ran well at Listowel on Wednesday.
