Verdict

In the hope that the application of cheekpieces has the desired effect, GROUP STAGE gets the vote in this tricky-looking handicap. He wasn't disgraced in a better race than this at Doncaster last month and a further 2 lb drop in the weights leaves him on an appealing mark. Shantung's latest effort is best overlooked and she is feared, while recent chase winner Not A Role Model also has claims.
