In depth
Verdict
More quantity than quality with several disappointing types in opposition. Shaffishayes seems to have been around forever and although the winner of eight races on the flat, he has yet to strike over timber. However, this isn't a strong event and he must have every chance. Landings takes a drop in class, but does need to improve on what she has shown to date. A chance is taken with Irish raider Trump Card, who is at least open to a little improvement on this sounder surface. He is clearly of limited ability, but his effort behind Hoh Invader at Musselburgh reads well enough in the context of this race and he is sure to be better suited to the drop in trip.
