Verdict
Starshiba scored over track and trip in July but Miami Thunder and TAJAWAL filled the places less than a length behind. The latter is the least exposed of that trio and is taken to reverse running in this. The progressive Panning For Gold won again at Southwell in August but is 7lb higher today while Cusack won a lower grade contest here last month. Colourful Dream makes her handicap debut on her belated reappearance having switched yards since winning at Southwell last year.
