Verdict
Gavin Cromwell's SHEER RAZ has been consistent since entering handicap company and the fitting of a tongue-tie may help him to make the breakthrough. Three miles seemed to stretch the six-year-old when he was third at Punchestown and this trip might be a better fit. Justicialism has returned to form on good ground of late and ran a fine race when second in a big field at Down Royal in early May. Anodandawink ran his best race so far when placed here last month, but drops back markedly in trip.
