Whistledown carries 6lb extra for winning at Epsom but SHALFA was beaten less than a length at Yarmouth last month and can race off the same mark. Marco Botti’s filly looks worth sticking with in this while Ravi Road is another to consider on recent placed efforts. Gun Dog disappointed last time having finished runner-up at Salisbury before that while Measured Moments will be sharper for last month’s comeback run.
