In depth

Verdict

There's not much between Kheley, Muqalad and Bertbrand on their recent efforts behind Dickie Le Davoir. All three look thoroughly exposed now, but Spirit Of Coniston's long losing run has seen him tumble down the weights and he's shown signs of a return to form of late. Gorgeous Goblin finished third over C&D a week ago beating SHAKESPEARES EXCEL by a whisker with Cheveyo well behind. However, Derek Shaw's charge was making his handicap debut on that occasion and, with improvement expected, he's taken to turn the tables and come out on top today.
