Verdict

SHAH OF ARMAAN has produced three efforts on this surface that suggest he can take advantage of a race where his rivals either need to produce career bests or rediscover old form. He was fourth in a maiden here in November behind two subsequent winners and then won over C&D in January where he beat another future winner. The form of his Newcastle race where he finished third has worked out well. All three of those efforts suggest he could be on the right side of the handicapper. Kevin Ryan's charge did finish last on his most recent start after missing the break and appearing unsuited to the slower surface, a run which is best ignored. Red Tea is an obvious danger having having enjoyed a fruitful campaign in 2016 which yielded three victories. She remains just 2lb above her last winning mark and the jockey booking signals intent. Captain Revelation has had a lucrative winter. The handicapper may have his measure for now but he arrives in better form than most in this lineup.
  1. Shah Of Armaan
  2. Red Tea
  3. Captain Revelation
