In depth
Verdict
In the opener, Tilly Shilling is selected ahead of Tension Point and Victory Mile. Tension Point beat Tilly Shilling and Miss Saafend Plaza at Newton Abbot last time but may not be able to hold them on these revised terms, with Tilly Shilling, who is seven pounds better off for three-and-a-half lengths, getting the nod. Others to get a mention are the 12-furlong Chepstow selling winner, Correy, Rainbow Flame, who achieved a rating of 63 on the Flat, and Victory Mile, a 12-furlong Bath selling winner but, for the selection, we will side with Tilly Shilling.
