Hijran was progressing at the end of last season but has come off worst on both occasions that she’s come up against SHAMBRA. Lucy Wadham’s filly has run well in both starts this term and can get back to winning ways with regular pilot Maxime Tissier claiming 5lb. Cubswin appears to be treading water off her current mark but Sula Island is respected as she’s the least exposed and ran well under a penalty in a decent race at Newbury. She's Gina and Everlanes can’t be ignored but Spirit Of Rome might find this company too hot.
