The four-year-old Cold Shoulder represents Gordon Elliott but his best run came when tackling 2m4f at Perth. Marju's Quest has managed to win nine races though not since May 2016. He's been placed on numerous occasions and should get into the frame again. Never A Word hasn't won in 17 starts and still looks a few pounds high but SHADOW'S GIRL showed massive improvement when third at Plumpton last month under regular pilot Sean Houlihan and wouldn't need much more to take this moderate event.
