        Verdict

        Last week’s Yarmouth runner-up Agent Shiftwell has been gradually coming to hand and is probably on a decent mark at present. Dark Silver is interesting as he has also slipped down the ratings and should be suited by the stiff 5f here. But GOOD EARTH showed enough in two runs last month to suggest he can finally get his head in front in a race like this and he’s preferred to stable companion Crime Of Passion. Sur Mer and Skyllachy could figure at bigger odds.
