Verdict
SHAW’S CROSS was never really travelling on good ground at Plumpton last time having won on good to soft at the same track earlier. He could be some value in this against likely favourite Elmount, who jumped well when reversing Leicester running at Catterick with Sabbathical. Eros will likely find at least one too good again but connections will be hopeful than a wind operation has worked the oracle with Braveheart and the maiden Horizon D'Ainay is tried in cheekpieces. Upagainstit was engaged in the 3.50 Market Rasen yesterday.
