      Verdict

      Callum Shepherd could afford to ease down AMAZING NEWS in the closing stages at Wolverhampton last time and still win by over four lengths. He looks worth sticking in this given Makram was beaten by a horse carrying a penalty when runner-up at Kempton on his debut. The latter looks a likely improver but Centurion Song hasn’t raced since August and has been gelded subsequently. Rock Of Diamonds is an 85,000gns purchase already gelded while fellow newcomer Corofin is related to several winners including the useful Rougemont.
