        Verdict

        Veteran SHIFTING STAR has won twice over this course and distance and only found Harlequin Striker too strong here two weeks ago on soft going. He's only been raised a pound and looks ready to score again. Matilda's Law ran her best race so far on Polytrack last month and still has some scope while Rajadamri could be worth a market check as he hinted at ability last year. Funny Oyster must have some sort of chance on his second here in April, though is still 3lb higher.
