Sharjah continues his quest for a tenth course victory, which has been ongoing since July 2018. This is a poor-quality handicap and he can get into contention. Pretty Little Liar ran her best race for some time three weeks ago but could have done without a 2lb rise though she has a couple of pounds in hand of PAISTIUL on that run. However, the latter ran better over 1m4f last week where she led at this trip and looks ready to lose her maiden tag. Spanish Dawn is generally thereabouts and only 1lb higher than her last victory here just over a year ago. Getgo is gradually dropping to a winnable mark and ran a bit better last time.
