Verdict
The veteran Shifting Star is upped 4lb for winning over track and trip while Diamond Bear ended last year with a maiden win over course and distance. Mark Johnston’s runners are always respected here and Morning Suit won at Lingfield back in January but Munawer was well beaten at Newmarket last month on his handicap debut. RADJASH attempted to make all over 1m2f at Windsor on his reappearance but faded in the final furlong. He should improve for that and the Godolphin charge gets the vote to come out best over this shorter trip.
