Verdict
Shy Glance comes here chasing the hat-trick and gets the vote to win again, although Raza Cab and the consistent Harare look two lively contenders. The money came for Alan Swinbank's runner last time out and he duly obliged, so, assuming that the market speaks in his favour again, he looks the call. A winner on his last start here (only beaten a head on his other visit), he must have leading claims today. Harare is very consistent on the all-weather however he is yet to win over this trip and may desire an extra furlong or two, so of more interest may be Raza Cab. A facile winner last month at Lingfield, Karen George's gelding looks progressive and can go well off a 4lb higher mark. Final Tune and Tancredi are two more to consider, but Shy Glance can complete the hat-trick.
