Verdict

VICTORY SHOUT landed a gamble when getting the better of Walk In The West at Taunton last week and Syd Hosie's 5-y-o is fancied to confirm his superiority with that rival faced with similar conditions. Prince Rhinegold was off the bridle before most but stuck to his task valiantly when runner-up here last month and he's fancied to be in the shake-up again.

9	On a lengthy losing run but ran his best race when second of 12 here last month, off the bridle before most but sticking at it and likely to have posed the winner an even bigger problem late on but for being hampered by that one.
