Verdict
FIFTY SHADES (NAP) is probably high enough in the weights now but had excuses last month at Fakenham. The longer trip and better ground will suit here and he can resume winning ways. Our Reward was still travelling when unseating last time at Ffos Las while Exxaro is 2lb lower than when last successful. Stout stayer Gamain also has a squeak but it’s harder to make a case for the remainder
