Shearian is a six-times course winner who is 2lb lower than when last successful in January. Sajanjl is a lightly-raced three-year-old still heading in the right direction and he’s unlikely to be far away if handling the switch to Fibresand. Placebo Effect has been placed off higher marks on Turf recently and Break The Silence won over 7f here in August. Tha'ir has won three times on Tapeta but was last on his only previous run here. KEEPUP KEVIN had no chance from a wide draw last time at Beverley and has been done no favours here but has been in good form in general this year, despite failing to win. Pam Sly’s gelding is on a fair mark on his debut on this surface.
