    Verdict

    MASHAARI found only his odds-on stablemate, Shantaram, too good at Newmarket earlier this month and will be a short price himself to land this. Saying that, he's unlikely to have things all his own way with Swynmor in the field as the latter was beaten only a head at Haydock on his latest start and looks sure make another bold bid. The remainder are harder to fancy with Badea looking the best of those though Sir Henry Cecil's newcomer Crystal Monarch is worth keeping an eye on for the future.
