Verdict

Award Dancer ended last year with a victory at Newcastle and is only 2lb higher while Diamond Haze has been raised the same amount for a more recent success at Thirsk. But REPUTATION proved an earlier second at Beverley was no fluke when placed again at Thirsk last time and Ruth Carr’s charge finally looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights. Star Shield is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
