        Verdict

        Shouda ended last season with a double and may get involved in the finish off only a 3b higher mark for his return. Laser Blazer has the more recent form with a string of placed efforts on the all-weather, but he's steadily creeping up the weights without winning, and Cantor has failed to figure in a couple of starts since scoring at Kempton in February. STEELY posted a much improved effort on his first start for Gary Moore when a close-up fifth on the Polytrack last month and with further progress expected, he gets the vote on his only his second start on Turf.
