Verdict
Shimba Hills has yet to show much over fences but is reunited with Aidan Coleman. Lickpenny Larry is more than capable in this grade if fully wound-up while Shintori won over course and distance last December, though is 18lb higher on his return. BROTHER BENNETT was rallying when a close third at Stratford last month and will strip fitter today. Also a past winner here, Page Fuller’s claim is a plus and he loves the mud.
