The four-year-old SHEARLING started off with victories at Warwick and Wetherby and was carrying her penalties when just outstayed by newcomer Mountain Path on the latter track. All of those runs were over shorter but there's no reason why this trip shouldn't suit. It's All About Me improved on her opening effort when placed here in November though she didn't show much in the way of pace and should do better when tackling hurdles. Green Tikkana has been a long way behind the selection in both starts at Wetherby so the main threat may come from Donald McCain's newcomer Whiteoak Stroller, who is out of a very smart bumper/hurdles winner and is getting plenty of weight.
