        Verdict

        Shosolosa is due to run at Doncaster on Thursday evening so her participation must be in some doubt. If she does line up she would be of interest particular having appeared to be given too much to do last time. She is due to race from a long way out of the weights on Thursday evening so it is worth bearing that in mind if she does turn up here. Viable returns after almost eight months off the track but is well handicapped on previous form. However he is probably best watched unless the market says otherwise. Malinsa Blue drops back in trip here after appearing as if he failed to stay ten furlongs last time. Checkpieces are re-applied and while she is another that is attractively weighted on the best of her form, she is a tricky customer. Market support for the seasonal debutant King Zeal would make him of some interest while ground conditions are unlikely to suit West End Lane. If Shosolosa lines up she is the form pick but in her absence we will side with Malinsa Blue.
