    Verdict

    Highjacked finished well ahead of Lincoln Red when scoring at Redcar but previous efforts at this venue fail to inspire confidence. Gunmaker ran a shocker when sent off favourite over track and trip having earlier gone close here on a couple of occasions so SHARRABANG is preferred. A course and distance winner back in February, he was beaten only a head at Wolverhampton last time and can return to winning ways. Loretta remains unexposed and will be sharper for a recent outing.
