A couple of decent sorts make appeal here. Nigel Twiston-Davies is sending out the winners at present and Shardam is his representative here. He does have two ways of running though and it may pay to look elsewhere. Circle of Wolves is rated 104 and should at least be fit from the flat. Formal Bid has at least shown an aptitude for the Rasen track and although yet to land a victory, he is at least consistent. Stennikov is likely to be a short price in the market and while he makes some appeal, it is noted that his best bumper form is on a softer surface. The TEAMtalk selection is Mick Easterby's Real Shady. He was well thought of in his bumper days and has gone well fresh in the past. With the ground in his favour, he is selected at a decent price.
