Shutterbug has been placed at Wolverhampton of late and, if she can translate that form to this track, she looks to have a good chance of losing her maiden tag. Una Vita Pius has shown slight improvement in three starts in maidens including over 5f here last time and she could figure on her handicap debut while Welsh Dresser has form on turf that entitles her to consideration. However, the vote goes to HIGH AVON, who ran much better than his finishing position suggests over 5f here in October and may have improved since.
