Verdict
JEBEDIAH SHINE carries 6lb extra for last week's victory over course and distance. But he beat Pearl Acclaim, Bosham and Come On Dave and David O'Meara's charge is taken to go in again. Bosham had beaten Saved My Bacon here earlier while Secret Glance ended last year with a double on the Turf but has not raced since August. Showtime Star is helped by an apprentice's allowance today though all five wins to date have come over 6f.
