Verdict

Royal Shaheen ran in this last year but finished last. Swift Emperor was second last time at York but beaten five lengths and is due some help from the handicapper, though should again beat Pontefract winner Silvery Moon. Canberra Cliffs was only third off this mark at Doncaster when chasing a hat-trick but is the junior member of this field and Mick Easterby's pair, Qaffaal and Magic City, are also worth a second look. AWAKE MY SOUL usually makes the running and is still fairly treated judged on his latest fourth in better company at Newbury - he could take some pegging back.
