Pak Army is on a roll and his latest victory at Warwick has already been franked but he was ridden by a 7lb claimer that day so is effectively 8lb here. HE’S MY SHADOW could be a bit of value to end his winning run as he gives the impression that he’s a bit better than form figures would suggest. Smart Deal may be the four-year-old with most scope.
