Verdict
SHOBIZ hasn’t finished out of the frame in four starts to date. He was second on Polytrack at Kempton last month and has guaranteed fitness on his side whereas the less-exposed Tarhib is having a first run in almost a year, though did show plenty of promise at Newmarket last season. Next Victory hasn’t threatened in a couple of runs at Doncaster but none of the others make much appeal.
