Verdict
SHAUYRA won over a mile at Newcastle recently having placed over today’s longer trip at Windsor before that. The Haggas filly is taken to defy a penalty given today’s opposition have yet to threaten including Kempton runner-up Persuer. The latter finished over four lengths behind the winner on that occasion while Lenya was well beaten over a mile on her debut back in July and Malika I Jahan hasn’t raced since October last year.
