Verdict

Alan King's Sha Bihan could be ready to show his true colours and he gets the vote ahead of Ballyhoo and Wee Anthony. The selection was given a good mention by his handler at the start of last season but was beset with training problems. However he returned to the track with a solid effort at Haydock last month and he can build on that promise this afternoon. Ballyhoo came up against the well treated Take The Stand at Plumpton last time and was just edged out. A similar effort today will make him a tough nut to crack. Wee Anthony was an impressive winner here in February and being from the inform O'Neill yard he has to be watched closely in the betting. The pick of the remainder could be Dawn Wager, but Sha Bihan has plenty of potential and can start to turn it into victories.
