    Verdict

    Topamichi scored over track and trip recently but is 5lb higher for this and the runner-up has been beaten since. VENTURA QUEST was beaten only a length at Newmarket when last seen at the track in October and a chance is taken on Richard Fahey's charge running somewhere near his best on his reappearance. Majeed has the past form to figure but hasn't raced since 2013 so Lord Ofthe Shadows makes more appeal off his current mark given the return to 1m2f should suit.
