Shambra, a useful hurdler, hasn’t been disgraced in a couple of runs on the Flat this year and her stamina will stand her in good stead today. Maid In Manhattan is on a hat-trick and was a very easy winner at Nottingham on Thursday so it makes sense to run her under a penalty. Fantastic Ms Fox appears on an upward curve but only won a maiden handicap at Redcar. Well Funded also looks progressive but Shine Baby Shine has been creeping up the weights without winning. SAY NOTHING is out of a mare that loved soft ground and she was doing her best work at the finish over 1m4f at Haydock - Hughie Morrison’s filly can open her account here.
