      Verdict

      SHAFAANI has the strongest form by some margin and is hard to oppose. Clive Brittain's filly returned to action with a creditable fourth in Listed company here last month and is well clear of the others with an official rating. They include Hornboy, who should improve on his recent reappearance at Kempton. Puteri Nur Laila is more exposed but still looks likely to finish thereabouts while Wildcrafting could prove best of the less experienced runners on her reappearance.
