Verdict

Sheeba is making his handicap debut with a big weight, though he looked certain to be suited by this trip when staying on over 7f last time. MOVING ON UP (NAP) produced easily her best run so far when just caught by Lily's Rainbow in a nursery here last month. With Donnacha O'Brien again utilising his 7lb claim, Charlie Swan's filly can go one better. Showcard was having her first start for new connections when landing a little handicap from Surrey Pink over 6f two weeks ago. She's likely to improve for the run though neither have proved themselves over the trip. Rest Assured wasn't beaten far in three nurseries at the back end of last year on this track. She was conceding 12lb to Coral Cluster when just in front of her last month and looks the best alternative.
