In depth

Verdict

Shandancer was beaten by a lower rated rival in maiden company at Stratford and blinkers are applied. FADED FANTASY was less than fluent at Bangor but still finished clear of the rest in second and may prove the one to side with. Love Bite didn’t get very far on her hurdling debut while bumper winner Genovese unseated here last week and Presenting Nelly makes her hurdling bow.
