      Verdict

      Ten Shun can keep up the good work, with Ms Rainbow Runner, Lenoir and Norman Beckett expected to give him most to do. Ten Shun was not winning out of turn at Wolverhampton nine days ago, having earlier posted a close second here at Lingfield, and although front-runners do generally get reeled in on this track, we feel that it is worth staying with the Mark Polglase inmate as this apprentice afair is little better than the seller that he won last time. Ms Rainbow Runner has it to do with Lenoir on earlier running here, but her third to Casablanca Minx in a stronger race than this last week gives her claims as well. Norman Beckett ran a stinker here in November and ran much too keenly when fading out of contention on a return visit a fortnight ago. He is better than that form suggests and any support should be heeded. Ten Shun need only improve slightly to take all the beating in the finale.
