Verdict

FASCINATING SHADOW has an upwardly-mobile profile on the Flat and he maintained his unbeaten record for his current yard when landing a juvenile hurdle at Cork recently, so he gets the nod in this competitive affair. Startedwithakiss had plenty in hand when opening her account in a maiden at Roscommon last time, so she's regarded as a treat, while the likeable Scott Lang can't be dismissed.
