    Verdict

    SILVER SHADE has improved for being gelded and came good at Newcastle last month when returning an easy winner. He’s taken to defy a hike in the weights given Cherokee Dance seemed to have had little excuse for a poor effort at Wolverhampton when finishing third of only five runners. Eagle Springs failed to threaten over a mile last year and steps up in trip for his handicap debut having been gelded subsequently.
