Meandmyshadow is held by Ben Haslam's Azzurra Du Caprio on running at York last week and the last mentioned has every chance of going one better racing off the same mark in what seems a weaker race today but he may again have to settle for minor honours with preference for BAHAMIAN SUNSET. Richard Fahey's colt was good value for his Ayr maiden win and lost no caste in defeat when narrowly beaten by Eucharist in a Goodwood nursery last month so he looks worth siding with racing off just a 2lb higher mark today. Mick Channon's Barista is another with a bit to find with Azzurra Du Caprio on York form, while Mark Johnston's Top Care needs to improve on all known form to trouble the judge.
