      Verdict

      Tsar Bomba showed a liking for this surface when winning a seller over C&D last week. He did well to get the better of higher-rated rivals, including the re-opposing Colorus, despite the unfavourable terms and should make another bold bid. However, SHAWKANTANGO may prove too good. Derek Shaw's charge overcame a slow start on both occasions to win his last two outings over C&D and is taken to confirm latest running with Guto and Cavitie here. Sleepy Blue Ocean has been in fine form but the handicapper may have caught up with him now.
