Shadowfax has been racing in competitive maidens and nurseries on the turf and sets a good standard in this contest. This is however the first time he has raced on the fibresand and there is always a question mark over whether horses will act on this specialist track, and he is only a tentative TEAMtalk selection. Bo would also have to be respected on the best of her form but is another making her AW debut, as is East Riding who showed ability on her only start to date and represents a stable whose juveniles improve significantly for a run. Jannadav has shown a fair level of form in two starts to date and is another with chances.
