Verdict
Red Shadow won over C&D last month but couldn't follow-up off today's higher mark last time. It's a similar story for Portrush Storm and Invigilator who both won their penultimate starts. A 6lb rise for Gran Canaria Queen's recent victory over 5f here may scupper her chances and preference goes to AMETHYST DAWN. A close-up second over 7f at this track last time having tumbled down the weights, Alan McCabe's mare looks set for a return to winning ways.
