SHALADAR (1) looked to have the race in safe keeping before being passed late by a subsequent winner over 1m here. Dropping back to 7f is a sensible move and with Jack Callan good value for his 5lb claim in these amateur events may return to wining ways. DAKOTA POWER (6) finished third that day and must be taken seriously off the same mark with the experienced amateur Simon Walker booked. A 5f drop back in trip does pose question marks for WARNING SIGN (5). This will be a test of stamina given the conditions and he could be staying on at the finish. BE FRANK (2) cannot be ruled out.
