        Verdict

        Shadowtime won at his favourite course once again when successful at Beverley last week. But he's worth taking on under a penalty and KIWI BAY gets another chance. The latter went very close at Thirsk four days ago with Kingscroft and Fazza behind and drops down a grade for this. The latter won last year's renewal but True Pleasure makes more appeal having finished runner-up at Carlisle last time with Toto Skyllachy back in fifth.
