        Verdict

        Silver Shuffle only found one too good over course and distance three weeks ago and finished ahead of Light The City. But Ruth Carr's charge caught the eye that day under a considerate ride. That was his first start since March so he's going to strip fitter today and he can reverse running with Dianne Sayer's gelding. Helium was a fair third at Chepstow last month and is another who will have improved for the run while Sam Lord and Nautical Twilight should be thereabouts from near the foot of the weights. PERTUIS has been holding his own in better company and can race off the same mark as when second at Wetherby. He might be the one to beat with Benzanno facing a stiff task under a big weight.
