        Verdict

        Fityaan produced a real shock when landing a 50/1 victory here three weeks ago and there didn't appear to be much of a fluke about the success. Many of today's rivals were behind including runner-up Temple Meads and third-placed Bear Behind, who were both conceding weight to the winner. Russian Soul, who has yet to race over the minimum trip, ran very well behind the in-form Tamaathul over 6f last time and should have enough pace to get involved but the real class-act here is SHEA SHEA and he's taken to make a winning debut away from South Africa. Eight times a winner, including twice at Group 1 level, he has to concede lumps of weight but looks an exciting Carnival prospect and the Mike De Kock bandwagon is just starting to roll.
