Verdict

A competitive finale to the inaugural Winter Million Festival. SHEARER matched his fairly useful bumper form at the second attempt over hurdles and, with further improvement on the cards now moving into handicaps, he gets the verdict. Fellow handicap debutant Nothin To Ask heads the dangers, ahead of Triple Trade, who should be suited by this step back up in distance.
