Best Odds
Not won for some time now and achieved each of his three career wins at Kenilworth; far from disgraced (beaten 2l, Greyville) 38 days ago in a Class 4; this line-up contains some strong opposition so only limited appeal.

Fair effort when 3l fourth to Avignon (Kenilworth) two weeks ago; has won at this course; a few rivals look in good form so not hard to turn elsewhere.

Often been there or thereabouts lately; has won three times here; just over 2l third to Avignon at Kenilworth two weeks ago; can be in the mix as recent effort was encouraging.

Gained a first success at the fourth time of asking when winning by a head in June upped to 7f (Kenilworth) in a maiden plate; easy to oppose despite that win last time.

Verdict
Avignon needs to be considered while Shifting Path has generally been running well. But it is hard to get away from MORDECHAI. He has winning C&D form to his name and this lightly raced runner has plenty of scope.
