      Verdict

      An apprentice's allowance gives Kempton winner Beedee every chance at the weights but the ground is a worry for him. King Dragon is dropped in class and has claims on his victory in soft going at Windsor during the summer but SHAHDAROBA went very close in a higher grade handicap than this when second to Polski Max at York a fortnight ago. It was testing ground on that occasion and Rod Millman's colt can go one better here. Effie B handles the going but has a bit to find with the selection on York running, though Dominate won on soft ground back in July.
