      Verdict

      SHARK MAN gets the nod here ahead of Could It Be Magic and debutant China Bay. The selection finished fifth in the Brocklesby on his debut and that form looked very strong. He followed that up with a superb run at Lingfield last time and though he finished second there a repeat of that performance should see the colt to victory here. Could It Be Magic came from a fair way back to finish sixth on debut last time. The colt is half-brother to a couple of juvenile sprint winners and looks capable of more. Debutant China Bay comes from the in form yard of Tom Dascombe and in such lowly company here the filly can take this opportunity to continue that success. As is the norm with poor races such as this a market check is advised. Dayshah Vu and Dancing Freddy will need to put in some impressive debut performances if they are to figure here and the rest will need to show some remarkable improvement so for our winner we look no further than Shark Man.
