Verdict
SHAW PARK has responded well to headgear of late and the return to his ideal distance should see him to best effect. The well bred and unexposed Encore looks the obvious threat on handicap bow, while this shorter trip could suit Always Blue given how she shaped last time.

VerdictBuilt on earlier promise (trained on debut by Ed Walker) when readily landing the odds in 8-runner novice at Kempton (6f) 33 days ago. Well bred and goes into handicaps with more to offer stepping up in trip. Likely player.

VerdictTwice a winner at Carlisle (6f, good) this summer. In-and-out form since but stamina stretched last time. Makes a rare start on all-weather (well held on both previous attempts).

VerdictHas a rather all-or-nothing profile and all 3 career victories have come over 7f at Ayr, taking advantage of the drop in grade there in July. Now 2 lb below that winning mark and he's back in a class 5 for the first time since. Pulled too hard on only previous attempt on all-weather last summer.- 4.

VerdictMaiden but has been shaping well in handicaps, headed only in the last 100 yards under an aggressive ride at Pontefract (1m) 12 days ago. Well worth a go at this shorter distance. - 5. Shaw ParkJ: Kieran O'NeillT: Scott DixonF: 30843532
