        Verdict

        Shaheen is upped in class after scoring at Doncaster but is still improving but Arzaak will find this tougher than when scoring at Brighton last month. Midsummer Knight has been thereabouts of late but in his own age group while William Buick stays loyal to Leo Minor having won over track and trip a fortnight ago. Third-paced SHAMSHON has some improving to do to reverse running with the latter but re-opposes on better terms and given he won last year’s renewal off a 7lb higher mark, Stuart Williams’ charge could make another bold bid with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Gracious John and Duke Of Firenze are both capable at this level with the latter preferred having slipped down the weights this year.
