      Verdict

      Catching Shadows sprang a surprise for Paul Cashman at Cork last month but might be a risky proposition under a penalty on his first start for new connections. Afienya was tailed off on debut at Carlisle while Hillier never threatened at Sedgefield and needs more. JESSIE PINKMAN has a Flat pedigree and gets all the allowances in an uncompetitive finale so could be worth a small wager with doubts surrounding most of the others.
