Sacred Shield has been sent off favourite in four of her five starts but has only managed a single win in a Wolverhampton maiden so far and was easily brushed aside off this mark over C&D last month. TAMEEN has more scope and the way she finished over a mile at Newmarket on her reappearance suggests she'll relish the extra here. John Dunlop's filly has the beating of Countermarch on that run and gets the vote ahead of the maiden Hidden Valley and Nottingham third Lucy Limelites. Windsor winner Zamina may be best of the rest.
