Verdict

A competitive handicap with the narrow vote in favour of BLUE SHARK. He's proved a different proposition tackling trips at around 2½m, completing a handicap 5-timer at Huntingdon 15 days ago and a 5 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent another bold showing now his stamina is tested further. Handicap-debutant Scamallach Liath rates a likely improver up in trip and is feared, along with the in-form Seymour Promise.
