SHOSTAKOVICH is officially well treated under his 6lb penalty after two runaway successes at Southwell so as long as he is as good on this surface he should land a hat-trick. Miss Toldyaso looks the obvious danger having followed a win with a couple of good runs in defeat. Her chance, though, has been tempered with the handicapper raising her mark for the latest of those runs. Dunmore Boy will need to improve on recent efforts and is due to go down in the weights in future races so really this looks a race for Shostakovich to lose rather than the others' to win.
