        Verdict

        Rosina is 5lb higher for winning at Chelmsford but is still preferred to Economic Crisis, who is upped in class. Brother Tiger went close at Southwell just four days ago and won off today’s mark last year while Fast Track was beaten only a neck over today’s minimum trip at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. But a chance is taken on SHAMSHON given he drops down in class having finished behind Gracious John the last twice now Stuart Williams’ charge has won off higher marks in the past.
