Our Sheila is taken here to get the better of Chanteuse Noire and Mullady Penelope. Bryan Smart's filly has obviously wintered well as she showed much improved form to finish third behind La Matanza over the six furlong trip here earlier this month. With improvement likely she looks the one to be on today. The obvious danger is Jeremy Noseda's Chanteuse Noire. She is certainly no stable star but put in a solid effort last time when second to the Sir Michael Stoute trained Tawaassol. The winner aside, it was a pretty modest affair but so is this and she will be a tough nut to crack. Mullady Penelope ran two promising races as a juvenile and has to be respected from a yard that is amongst the winners. Maria Antonia should improve for her debut run and may be the pick of the others, but in a pretty weak contest Our Sheila just gets the verdict.
