Verdict

SHARJAH was conceding 9lb when almost 3l behind Minot Street over the track and trip in November. He arrives in better form than the winner having beaten Rose Angel over 1m2f last week and can reverse the form and take this. Eye Of The Tiger has had a few trainers, and a controversial career, now it's Johnny Murtagh's turn to try and get a race out of him. Canon Law is now on his fourth trainer and hasn't shown much in two starts for new connections while the maiden Broadway Musical has never run over this trip and hasn't given much indication that he'll stay. The ex-Godolphin maiden Caridada hasn't shown much for new connections, the latest over hurdles.
