Shagah won a competitive-looking maiden at Goodwood in July and may be capable of better. Russian Punch possibly has the best form on the book but she's more exposed than her rivals. Montalcino won by four lengths over this trip at Doncaster and there is almost certainly more to come from Kempton scorer Sandy Cay over this extra furlong but GOOD PLACE looked useful when beating subsequent Goodwood winner Make It Up at Lingfield and can follow up in this higher grade.
