      Verdict

      For Shia And Lula won four times last year and is not easily overlooked off his current mark. Wickhambrook is another to consider having made the frame over track and trip on his reappearance while Picks Pinta went close at Kempton on his penultimate start and has a shout on that form. But GENTLEMEN left his previous form behind when returning the shock 100/1 winner over 6f here on his comeback and is taken to prove that was no fluke now handicapping for the first time with Kieren Fallon taking over the reins.
