Verdict

Heron finished well ahead of both Archippos and Mister Universum when landing a selling handicap over track and trip last time and has been raised 5lb. But SHINE BABY SHINE won a higher grade contest over course and distance before struggling over a longer trip and Philip Kirby’s mare gets another chance in this company. Amourie finished closer over 1m4f here last month though was well beaten on an earlier attempt at 2m while Para Queen has been hurdling since finishing third over a shorter trip at Windsor in October.
