Verdict

SHRIMP SHADY's latest Kempton fourth has to go down as a shade disappointing, yet his penultimate Lingfield second confirms he has handicaps in him from this sort of mark and he's worth another chance to get back on the up with the Andrew Balding stable continuing in fine form. Low-mileage course scorer Rastnet is another worth a look now her stamina is tested further. Storm Catcher and Pride of Donegal complete the shortlist.
