This looks competitive on paper but Shreddy Shrimpster is given the tentitive vote ahead of Scarlett Heart and Temtation who are both worth noting in the bettin market. The selection is still a maiden after ten starts but he caught the eye last time out at Folkestone when second to Mind The Style. He looks extremely well treated and after being dropped in grade should be able to win a little race of this nature. Scarlett Heart was raised ten pounds for her win at Kempton win on the all weather last month and failed to trouble the judge at Lingfield last time out. This is her first run on the turf and although she is to be noted in the betting she should be treated with caution. Temtation has been knocking around in maidens and handicaps for a while now but has shown enough ability to be respected in claiming company so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Shreddy Shrimpster.
