Salmon Sushi and Ocean Boulevard were both sent off favourite last time over 1m4f. The pair each found one too good, however, and they could be frustrated in their efforts to recoup losses today as SHORANA (NAP) is a rare runner on the Flat in this country for Charlie Swan. The Holy Roman Emperor filly was only beaten half-a-length in a big field of maidens at Leopardstown in October and will take all the beating if adapting to the Polytrack. Procurement has her first run for Simon Dow but showed promise in a couple of starts in France in the summer and should be winning once she acclimatises. Millionaires Row can only improve on her first run and may do best of the rest.
