        Verdict

        If he is on a 'going day' then Emperor's Well can prevail here ahead of the tough African Sahara and the appropriately named Shifty. The selection only narrowly failed to win a fair Beverley maiden last time out and being only lightly-raced could have a little improvement in him. The ground and trip should suit and he looks one to be on especially if there is market support. African Sahara dead-heated last time out in a decent race at Sandown and looks a horse still on the upgrade. His never say die attitude should serve him well here though he has plenty of weight to carry and that could be his undoing on this stiff track. Shifty has not been up to his best since joining Dandy Nicholls but it would be no surprise to see him run a good race now he is on a mark only a pound above his last winning mark. Emperor's Well remains the selection, however, to continue on his upward curve and show how well handicapped he is.
