California Soul is upped 6lb after landing a maiden hurdle at Tramore but Ask David is only 3lb higher than when winning a handicap at Tipperary back in April. Better is expected from A Shin Impala now handicapping but Towcester maiden winner Shaluna unseated at Downpatrick last week on her first start for new connections. Charms Bracelet, Coherent and Tunnel Creek are others with a shout but the vote goes to WHOYAKODDING, third at Listowel last time and sporting first-time headgear today.
