    Verdict

    Shifting Gold won at Sedgefield on his latest start with Waterloo Corner back in third. But a line through the latter gives him something to find with HI DANCER. Ben Haslam's gelding also scored at Sedgefield a week ago and is taken to follow up on his quick reappearance. Last month's C&D winner Willie Hall will be no pushover, while better is expected from Lady Willa dropping back down in grade. Lady Anne Nevill returned from a lay-off with a win at Wetherby and there should be more to come from her.
