    Verdict

    Sinjaari is racing at this level for the first time but has placed in a couple of Listed races. Tempus won a valuable handicap at Ascot last month but was beaten fair and square by MODERN NEWS at Windsor earlier and is no better off at the weights. Berkshire Shadow has flattered to deceive this year and needs to bounce back from a lacklustre showing in this grade at Goodwood less than two weeks ago.
