Verdict

As long as he turns up after a hard race here two days go, SHAMASH should take all the beating here. A very close and slightly unlucky second on that occasion he drops back down to a more suitable trip having won with something in hand here earlier in the month. He looks to be improving and somehow has the lowest weight to carry here. Ravens Quest could give him most to think about, having won over C&D two starts ago. He goes up 5lb for that but he's entitled to be able to overcome that, while Lexington Law, returning from a debut spin over hurdles, could build on some good recent performances to fill the places.
