Lady Shanawell is hard to recommend but the rest can be given a chance. Donnachies Girl has been in decent form over longer trips and won over 1m6f at Redcar recently. Soloist clearly didn’t stay the 1m6f at Yarmouth but can finish closer today with blinkers fitted while Scenesetter posted a much better effort at Windsor on her handicap debut and is preferred to Earth And Sky, who steps up from 1m2f. SCHEME is a similar type to stablemate Yvette, due to run in the opener on today’s card. Expected to improve for today’s longer trip now handicapping for the first time, Sir Mark Prescott’s filly gets the vote.
