SHREWD APPROACH showed a big improvement to finish third at Ffos Las and it’s reasonable to expect further progress from Simon Crisford’s filly today. She’s preferred to Mountain Approach and Burnieboozle, who have shown little so far and leave the newcomers looking bigger threats. Of those, Mark Johnston’s Amazing Rock is a half-brother to three winners and Three Saints Bay also represents one of the powerful northern yards.

Burnieboozle (IRE) 20-1 (8-11) Held up towards rear, some late moderate headway, never dangerous, 8th of 12, 13 1/2l behind Danzan (8-11) at Pontefract 6f stks (4) gf in Jul.
