Verdict

This is easier than the race White Deer contested last time out and he can get his head in front today at the main expense of Tarraburn and Hazard County. Mark Johnston's colt drops back in trip after a disappointing effort at York last time out. Better judged on his fair third over this trip at Beverley, he looks capable of landing today's race on ground that suits. Baltimore Jack steps up in trip and whilst he wouldn't be without a chance, he didn't seem to stay the trip fully when last tried over it. Shake On It stays a mile and could be staying on to good effect at the death, whilst Tarraburn must be of interest. He returns from a break and must rate a danger now stepped up a furlong. The only worry is that he may need the run. At a price Pegasus Dancer could go well now tried over seven furlongs, however White Deer looks poised for a big run and can win today.
