In depth
Verdict
If My Shenandoah has not lost any confidence from his fall last time out he looks the one to be on here despite his forcast odds looking pretty skinny. He has already won four times at this track and he relishes good to soft conditions. Having won better races than this in the past he should not be passed over here. Ashgar has a chance at these weights but he would prefer a softer surface and he seems to prefer further these days. Trump Card is an interesting candidate from Ireland. He has bits and pieces of form and is respected at this level but his most latest runs have hardly been inspiring. Stallone was a useful performer on the level (rated 83 at his peak) and is slowly getting the hang of things over obstacles. He needs to improve on his latest effort but there is scope there and he could go well at a decent price.
