      Verdict

      LUNAR SHADOW arrives in good form having won at Bath before scoring over track and trip. Sharp Distinction returned to winning ways on his first start after wind surgery when beating the re-opposing Aqwaam a couple of lengths at Lingfield and William Buick takes over the reins on the latter. The remaining trio have yet to win a race between them.
