      Verdict

      SHAMSHON is back on his favoured surface having failed to find an extra gear on good to soft here in June. He’s been going well for Marco Ghiani and can pick up the winning thread again. Fellow veteran Boom The Groom and Second Collection are both back in the right grade and respected and Street Parade is still potentially well treated despite a 3lb rise for a narrow win at Sandown. Michaels Choice is a past winner here and can’t be ignored in a tricky opener.
