Verdict
Sharjah has won nine times on the track including from higher marks so can never be dismissed, especially with his rider claiming 10lb. SHADOW SEVEN went up 10lb after winning easily over the track and trip and defied the extra over shorter next time. He's up another 8lb here and this looks only slightly more difficult so a hat-trick beckons. His stable companion Pedisnap is stepping up to the trip for the first time as is Secret Wizard, who was in front of her when runner-up to Kerosin last time. Earl Of Bunnacurry has been racing in the UK and scored at Wolverhampton and Southwell though has gone up in the weights as a consequence while Markhan has been beaten four times over hurdles since scoring over a mile at Ayr.
