Shava gets the narrow vote here with Charlottebutterfly and Limit Down rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Charlottebutterfly and although that rival is slightly better off at the weights the selection is taken to confirm his superiority over him. Charlottebutterfly is sure to have her supporters but is becoming hard to win with so is passed over. Limit Down was fourth behind Binnion Bay last time and is stepping up in trip so should be monitored in the market. Kissi Kissi won a moderate maiden last time but this looks tougher and he needs to improve to win off this mark. Of the remainder, Danethorpe is from a yard in form and could go well at a price, but for the winner we return to Shava to small stakes.
