        Verdict

        Rated 89, Three Saints Bay will go close on his reappearance if running anywhere near that mark. He’s been gelded since last year but is penalised for winning at Redcar in October while Our Oystercatcher, a winner at Windsor, has a tough task on these terms. Super D J is a potential improver with a modest debut effort at Kempton under his belt but SHATHARAAT is a half-brother to a Group 3-winning sprinter and Mark Johnston’s colt may prove good enough at the first time of asking.
