Verdict

Fearless Lad turned in a shocker when tried over this longer trip at Sandown and has a bit to prove now. Sinaadi also has to show he stays this far but Clive Brittain's maiden must have a fair chance of opening his account as he hasn't been beaten far in recent runs at Newbury and Yarmouth. Tawseef and Understory should figure under experienced apprentices but Shelley Birkett's 7lb claim has wiped out the penalty incurred by SHAHRAZAD for winning an amateurs' race at Newbury last week and she can score again.
