Shabeeh was well backed at Salisbury 11 days ago but was coltish in the parade ring and showed signs of inexperience in the race itself when finding one too good. He'll no doubt improve on that here but it will take a smart performance to lower the colours of SEVENTH HEAVEN, who beat a subsequent winner on his debut at Ascot. The second also went on to finish a close-up third in the Acomb Stakes at York and John Gosden's charge has entries all of the top two-year-old races between now and the end of the season. Sheila's Fancy is best watched against two potentially smart rivals.
