Verdict
TURJOMAAN landed the odds over course and distance in October when beating a subsequent winner with the rest nowhere. Roger Varian’s colt is taken to defy a penalty and is preferred to another winner in Gometra Ginty, who scored over 6f at Carlisle recently. Both Double Honour and Grab And Run posted better efforts on their latest outings and should be winning at this level before long while Windsor third Hour Of The Dawn is another stepping up in trip. Shark is a half-brother to four winners but has no easy task on his debut.
