Verdict
Doncaster winner LIBERTY SHIP went close again when runner-up over C&D on soft ground last week. This looks slightly less competitive and Mark Buckley's charge gets the vote in a poor contest. Shakespeares Excel has a bit to find with the selection on latest running and Elhamri finished a couple of lengths behind him at Doncaster. Athwaab is dropped in class and looks likely to prove the biggest threat, while Clear Ice and These Dreams are thoroughly exposed but could make the frame.
