      Verdict

      A chance is taken on SHAHBAR staying the longer trip. He is not guaranteed to do so on breeding but his debut second over 6f at Leicester is the best form on offer. Ride The Lightning looks best of the rest with racecourse experience but one of the newcomers may prove a bigger threat. That includes Bag of Diamonds and Totally Committed but Brorocco is a half-brother to stablemate and Racing Post Trophy winner Elm Park and an entry in the Group 2 Royal Lodge suggests he has also shown plenty of ability at home.
