Verdict

VALLO (10) looks to get chance. Has been good in two runs so far, the extra ground suits, this easier and has the claim. Expected to be in the finish. Same for STARTYOURENGINE (9) who is a two start maiden and put the writing on the wall latest with a close-up fourth over 7 ½f. Aided by the extra ground and has upside. EMPRESS JUPITER (13) has been hard to follow, the latest stepping to a mile and racing on speed but fading in the straight. Drawn much better here bit needs to find best figures. SHREWDNESS (8) stepped up to a mile last time and was beaten a head in a much improved run. Heading the right way and looks well placed here. ROCKIN' DEE FOX (5) resumed from over a year off with a satisfactory effort and will strip far fitter.
