        Verdict

        MAKING SHAPES showed enough on his reappearance behind surprise winner Glan Y Gors at Pontefract to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within his capabilities so gets the nod. Alshaahraman didn't show much at Doncaster in September but was always more likely to do better in his second season so should get into the frame. Dominada didn't have much chance in a class 2 handicap at Musselburgh last time but had disappointed on his reappearance. It's difficult to make a case out for the remainder though Desktop can improve from his run at Thirsk.
