TINSHU followed up a surprise success in a Class 2 handicap over the C&D with an even better performance to land a Listed contest last month. She's up in the weights but is in such good heart that she'll take some beating. Emerald Wilderness gained his fifth Polytrack success over the C&D a month ago and a 4lb rise is by no means excessive so he should be in the shake-up. Thunderstruck has a very similar profile and should be considered and though both of Raucous Behaviour's two victories were over 1m4f he races prominently so shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip. Tadabeer was impressive when landing a C&D maiden and is on a reasonable enough mark to give a good account.
