Verdict
Silver Shuffle has only won once from 51 starts under NH Rules and hasn’t raced since September. The likes of Mexican Jim and Newcastle third Broadway Belle probably have a bit more scope for improvement while Pretty Miss Mahler and The Lion Man could also figure. But, in a low-key contest, DOKTOR GLAZ might be good enough to defy top weight. He ran well a couple of times back in 2015 and a recent Carlisle outing should have blown away a few cobwebs.
