Verdict

SNIPER'S EYE shaped well behind a highly promising one at Newmarket last time and looks to have got into handicaps on a good mark, so he easily makes the most appeal. Oliver Show has shown signs of temperament but seemed well suited by the step up to this trip when scoring at Kempton 16 days ago and may do better still, with Metal Merchant completing the shortlist after shaping better than the distance beaten suggests in the Britannia at Royal Ascot.
