Verdict

TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG proved he's as good as ever when second to a subsequent winner at Newcastle last month and is the percentage call to go one better in a change of headgear back down in grade. Shoeshine Boy is sure to be in the thick of the action if bouncing back from a poor run at Haydock, with handicap-debutante Lady In The Park and the lighty-raced Cream of The West completing the shortlist.

  1. TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG
  2. SHOESHINE BOY (IRE)
  3. LADY IN THE PARK (IRE)
