SHAKY GIFT is 17lb better off with the hat trick seeking Oscar Jane than when beaten eight lengths over a shorter trip at Towcester 12 days ago. The Neil Mulholland mare should take here revenge today and open her account over timber as Miss Mayfair appears to have two ways of running and was tailed off when racing off her new mark at Huntingdon last time. Gentle Mel has yet to show any sign of ability under Rules since switching from point to points..
