SHECANDOO has been thereabouts since winning on the all-weather here in April. A change of headgear and Laura Pearson’s 5lb allowance can see her back to winning ways and she can confirm latest running at Leicester with Salsoul and Desert Marathon. Something looks amiss with Epsom Faithfull last time while Poetry And Art looks no nearer winning and Friday races from out of the weights.
