SHABEEH has been thereabouts in handicaps at Wolverhampton recently and looks to have a good opportunity back at this level. Shamrokh made only a modest debut over a longer trip at Chelmsford albeit in a higher grade than this while The Bard's Advice never threatened over 6f here on her introduction back in September. Life Won't Wait has the more recent form with a second here earlier this month though never looked like catching the winner but the newcomer Billys Connoisseur is a half-brother to a couple of juvenile winners.
