FOR SHIA AND LULA looks to have a good opportunity. He drops back in trip for this but has little to beat and should come out best if running anywhere near the form of his recent placed efforts. Surrey Dream landed a lowly seller over 6f here a fortnight ago and looks next best unless the likes of Katy's Secret and Milton Bradley's pair, Dancing Welcome and Courageous, rediscover their best having slipped down the weights. It's hard to make a case for any of the remainder.
