Respectable display to finish third, beaten just over 1l in a Class 5 last month; has won here before; has largely been consistent of late; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then could figure.

Verdict

SHIFTING PATH looks a solid choice. He finished ahead of Ozark, Typically French and Wave Of Glory when last seen and has won over this C&D. Vivo Per Lei poses a serious threat to the tip while Bolero is capable of running well, and Ozark has been stacking up some good efforts.
