In depth
Verdict
SHANANDOA looks to have every chance of landing a hat-trick. She escapes a penalty for winning a conditionals' race over today’s trip at Stratford and can confirm earlier running at Uttoxeter with Alramz. Vanderbilt and Serveontime posted better efforts last time though both remain without a win while Secret Potion scored at Warwick in his first start after wind surgery but failed to beat a rival on his latest start and gets a change of headgear. If Karl's Berg Did drops down a grade and Decoration Of War finished closer at this level last time.
