Verdict
A maximum turnout and quite a competitive heat with Fiveoclock Express likely to be better suited to this trip, having found things happening too quick for him over six-furlongs last weekend. He is having his first taste of the Polytrack, as is Shenley Charm, who needs to be forgiven a moderate effort last time, on ground which he should have enjoyed. However, he may have found that coming too soon after an excellent effort at Newmarket, behind Grand Passion and a reproduction of that run makes him the one to beat. Fellow Ship is more than capable, but he isn't one to trust, while Blakeshall Quest looks better on the Fibresand rather than the Polytrack. Dual Course winner Dancing Forest looks to have plenty to find off this mark, but Beneking looks well treated on some of his turf runs and proved he handled this surface when not beaten far in a fair maiden over this trip.If on a going day he would be difficult to beat, but we will stick with Shenley Charm, who is well treated on some of his turf form.
