Verdict
Shadow Game drops back in distance after two runs over 7f. He's already run well on Polytrack so should handle this surface, though he is becoming expensive to follow. Sharara has shown signs of ability but first-time winners for Sir Mark Prescott are rare so the well-bred Sun'aq maybe best watched on this occasion. APPROCAILLIS made his debut in a Class 2 event at Ascot so must have been showing something at home. He weakened quickly that day but rain-softened ground may not have suited and he's worth another chance.
