    Verdict

    Idler stepped up on his debut effort to finish second over 6f at Yarmouth last time and has to come into the reckoning. Serene Oasis is making a habit of finishing third and should be in the mix once again here, but preference goes to SHEVINGTON. He just failed to catch the winner on his debut at Newcastle in April and reappeared in a sales race over today's trip at Doncaster earlier this month. He came up well short there but will strip fitter today and can take advantage in this lesser company. Ptolemaic and Serendipity Blue are hard to fancy.
