        Verdict

        Shrubland has not had a break of this length before so it will be interesting to see how he copes. POINTED AND SHARP handled quicker going at Fontwell last month well enough. He’s only been raised a pound and is fancied to go one better ahead of Nelson's Touch, who is closely matched with Flight To Milan on Taunton running. Global Thrill looks a better bet than stablemate Nabhan but Watcombe Heights makes more appeal on past form.
