        Verdict

        Arctic Mirage went close on a couple of occasions last month but was well beaten at Salisbury last time and his chance may have gone for now. Shostakovich was well behund on his only previous start over today's distance so the vote goes MAP OF HEAVEN. She can race off a lower mark than when runner-up in a handicap at Nottingham last month thanks to Adam Beschizza's claim and can go one better. High On The Hog is another to consider after his latest second at Epsom.
