SHINDY has looked useful in pieces and we'll take her to see off Little Knickers and Casino Night. James Toller's charge has missed a couple of prospective engagements of late and while her latest run at Sandown does not read that well, it's worth noting that she did meet with significant trouble in running and as such the form line can be happily overlooked. Seven furlongs appears to be her best trip and she can set the record straight today. Little Knickers has been kept busy at Lingfield of late, and she was far from disgraced on a previous venture on soft going at Nottingham over a longer trip. Casino Night scored twice on this surface at Hamilton earlier in the season. She patently didn't stay at Hamilton last time out and a return to this trip appears necessary. Savannah Poppy was a fair juvenile but has it to prove as to whether she's trained on or not. Badweia's better efforts have happened with plenty of cut in the ground so it would be no surprise to see her bounce back from a disappointing run at Sandown. Feisty Royale has had plenty of racing this season so the handicapper has had ample opportunity to ensure that he has done his sums correctly. A race strong in numbers but not in terms of likely winners.
