      In depth

      Verdict

      Irish Jugger arrives in fine form after a couple of wins on the Fibresand but he's been raised 6lb in the weights and is upped in class here. As such, preference goes to SHADES OF GREY. Clive Cox' filly had today's rival Beat Route behind when fourth to the progressive Sir Boss over C&D on her recent reappearance and first-time blinkers may give her that bit extra in what looks an easier race. Seaside Sizzler may need the outing, but Opera Prince can do better with Seb Sanders back on board after finishing fourth at Lingfield a week ago.
