Verdict
Fresa has won three times from nine starts and is only 4lb higher than when successful over course and distance last month. Eurystheus only found one too good at Nottingham on his latest outing but Everlasting Light's latest third was over an extra quarter-mile and she's not really getting any closer to shedding her maiden tag. ANA SHABABIYA is upped in grade and against older horses now but won so easily over track and trip at the start of the month that another victory isn't out of the question and she's preferred to the luckless Lean On Pete and the others.
