SHALEEK stands out of those with experience having suffered a couple of narrow-margin defeats at Yarmouth last year. Her ability to handle the ground has to be taken on trust but Frankie gets the leg-up and she's preferred to stablemate Whatsofunny. Newcomer Catwalk could prove the biggest threat as she cost 100,000 euros and is related to four winners. Silver Lace showed some improvement when runner-up on her reappearance but has some catching up to do if she's to match the selection. Dartrix looks best of the rest.
