Verdict

Shaman, Forever My Lord and Answered Promise look to be the principles in this moderate Handicap, and we will side with Forever My Lord. The selection finished last on this track when last seen out in November but he is returning to his optimum trip here, and as he is capable of going well fresh, he looks the one to beat in a decidedly modest affair. Answered Promise could represent the main danger as he ran a fair race when sixth to Bank On Him on this track last month. He has the useful 3lb claimer Robert Miles in the plate this afternoon and that leaves him on a handy mark, so he has to be respected. Shaman is a course and distance winner who is reverting to the flat after a spell over hurdles, and he is another that could go well on the pick of his flat form, while Mister Clinton would have decent prospects if he could get anywhere near his best form, but he is been badly out of touch of late. This will not take a great deal of winning, and Forever My Lord is given the nomination.
