Verdict

No recent winning form on offer but SHARRABANG was beaten less than a length over track and trip last time and that looks the best form on offer. Only a length separated The Bull and Lord Of The Glen when the former finished fourth here last month while Poppy May went close at the track the last time she raced in this grade. Ghost Buy was still beaten a long way when second at Southwell but the remainder are even harder to recommend.
