Verdict

SHAMLAAN arrives with a penalty for Saturday's Goodwood victory but he didn't get the clearest of runs before leading close home so the form can be upgraded. Hellomydarlin has been running in Listed company on ground with plenty of give but Live In The Dream comfortably won a Sandown handicap at this level, though he's up 8lb and doesn't have his rider's 5lb claim to aid his cause. Resilience won lower-grade all-weather handicaps over this trip before beaten over 6f at Lingfield while Navello won the opening race on this card a year ago when completing a hat-trick though hasn't quite kicked on as expected. Nymphadora won a York Listed contest last May and all subsequent runs have been in Group company so she can't be dismissed out of hand.
