Verdict

Shampooed has topweight in this class D affair but has been in great form since being fitted with a visor, scoring at Worcester in May and finishing a gallant second to Devon View at Warwick last time. There is no reason why Robin Dickin's mare should not be the one to beat and she gets the TEAMtalk vote. Of the rest, Harik has been running well without showing the sort of form required, while the same comment applies to Flinders Chase. That leaves Hit Royal as the main danger. Paul Webber's charge looked booked for third behind Red Blazer at Huntingdon before veering onto the hurdles course at the second last and is better judged on earlier wins there and at Market Rasen.
