First Dance is well treated nowadays but isn’t getting any younger. Strangerontheshore dead-heated at Beverley on her reappearance and wasn’t beaten far at Carlisle last time but the three-year-olds should hold sway. Days Like This makes her handicap debut having got off the mark at Chepstow while Shahnaz kept on well to break her maiden at Hamilton, though has yet to show that she handles this quicker ground. MUMMA MAC looks the one to be as she definitely looked ready for a step up in trip when third over 7f at Goodwood.
