Verdict
Kyllachys Tale has been winning on the Turf but earlier efforts on Polytrack fail to inspire confidence and SHEILA’S SHOWCASE is preferred. The latter has slipped down the weights this year and showed the benefit when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last month. Denis Coakley’s charge gets the vote racing off the same mark. Baashiq has won at Brighton since scoring over track and trip in August while Orange Suit and Pempie’s earlier wins came over 1m2f and the latter has undergone wind surgery since last in action. Dormio won over shorter trips when trained in Germany but will be sharper for a recent outing at Bath.
