      Verdict

      Song Of Shadows has only run three times, winning at Wolverhampton in December, his first start since June 2015. He obviously goes well fresh but this looks a tricky handicap with most of his rivals in good form. Realize, who won a Class 2 at Chelmsford in December when well supported, is a massive 21lb lower on Turf but failed to take advantage on his last start here earlier this month. Plucky Dip came with a strong late run to snatch the spoils over 6f at Chelmsford and the extra furlong is no problem while LASTMANLASTROUND was having only his sixth start when carrying a big weight to victory at Brighton and there's more to come. The latter gets the nod as Vroom has become a Southwell specialist and has only run once on Turf while five-times all-weather winner Until Midnight is still a maiden after 15 starts on Turf though very nearly scored here earlier this month.
