Sheishybrid has won twice over hurdles and scored twice on Turf on the level though this could prove on the short side. The lightly-raced AMORTENTIA, a winner over a mile at Naas in May, stepped up to this trip for the first time here last month and just failed to overhaul No Say Ever, who was receiving 6lb. He's been handed a 3lb rise but looks on the upgrade and can go one better. Dalvey, who was well beaten, has subsequently won over the extended 1m2f trip. Alaroos is in excellent form and a 5lb rise for her victory here three weeks ago looks fair so she should get into contention.
