In depth
Verdict
Shares, Nifty Roy and Reivers Moon are three against the field in a wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Shares. The selection took a heavy fall last time out but prior to that he had been in good form. This faster ground will suit and off what remains a handy mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Nifty Roy rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Albertino Lad. He remains at the right end of the weights but his best form is on soft ground and for that reason he is opposed. Reivers Moon was a fair second behind Moor Spirit last time and is another that could go well but he is hard to win with. Miss Pross did not stay over a longer trip last time out and with the return to this shorter distance in her favours she is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Shares as our idea of the winner.
