Verdict

Vroom carries 6lb extra for beating Viva Verglas at Wolverhampton last week while Kommander Kirkup has been raised 4lb for a recent course and distance success when previous winner Kaaber was well beaten. Meandmyshadow never threatened when third here last time but GHASEEDAH won a maiden race by five lengths over track and trip on her latest start and there looks plenty more to come on this surface from Simon Crisford’s filly.
