ISHIAMBER made a winning handicap debut over track and trip last week. She can confirm superiority with the more exposed Mill I Am despite carrying a penalty and go in again. The latter has won twice here this year but now looks in the handicapper's grip, as does Lady Sylvia. Princess Spirit is a bigger threat as she recorded a double over a mile at this venue last year and has run well since off a similar mark to today. Meet Me Half Way has won over 6f but never figured when tried over this longer trip at Wolverhampton back in October.
