        Verdict

        Some powerful yards have runners in this but Bill Muir's White Shaheen could make a bold bid if staying the extra, despite top weight, as he ran well stepped up to 1m2f at Sandown. Recognition has already won here and on Polytrack this year. Jive Time wasn't beaten far last time at Yarmouth and Nucky Thompson was second at Doncaster trying this trip for the first time. CITY OF IDEAS (NAP) didn't appear to last home when favourite over 1m6f at Sandown last month but the form of that race has worked out well so it was still a decent effort. This should be his optimum distance and he is fancied to recoup losses. De Aguilar is preferred to Hammer Gun of the others.
