Verdict
SHIFTING STAR was not beaten far when fourth over track and trip a week ago and won off a higher mark last year. John Bridger's veteran may have another win in him. Admirable Art's winning run came to end end with a poor effort at Kempton last time while Bertie Blu Boy has been beaten off higher marks since scoring over 7f here last month. Storm Runner will be ending a long losing run soon judged on his latest third at Wolverhampton and the same comment applies to Bloodsweatandtears.
