      Verdict

      With those who have raced not showing too much it could well pay to side with newcomer Sensational Mover. American bred, he has plenty of dirt experience in his pedigree and if the stable money is down then expect a good run from this son of Theatrical. Shape up has AW experience, though not on this surface. He 'shaped up' well on his debut though it was not the strongest of races and may have to wait until he loses his maiden tag. Bernini was unfancied for his debut at the backend of last season in the mud at Nottingham where he ran green and was outpaced most of the way. He should be a stronger animal now and should give the selection most to do. The rest don't look capable of winning this on form they have shown to date.
