        Verdict

        This is a weak affair and Champagne Shadow can see off the likes of Musango and Atlantic Gamble. The selection was not disgraced in fourth behind Easibet Dot Net at this venue last time and now that he is dropped into this grade he looks capable of regaining the winning thread. Musango went off too quickly at Lingfield last time and paid the price, but all his winning form is at that track and for that reason we are prepared to take him on today. Atlantic Gamble is struggling to rediscover the form he showed here last year and he is best watched until he shows a bit more sparkle. Perfect Storm looks the best of the others, but in a poor race Champagne Shadow makes plenty of appeal and he gets our vote.
