        Verdict

        Always takes a drop in class after being touched off in handicap company (from a mark of 80) and should be hard to beat although he tends to flash his tail under pressure and is not one to rely on wholeheartedly. S W Three has clearly had her problems having had just one outing per season for the last two years but showed ability on the second of them and it may prove significant that she has been kept in training. Mexican wasn't disgraced on his debut at Ascot last term but never progressed and returns from a longish absence while Shakwaa will need to show more than when well beaten on her sole start to date in similar company recently.
