Ana Shababiya won on fast ground at Leicester last year but the Lingfield third has looked in the handicapper's grip lately. Bethan isn't really getting any closer to losing her maiden tag but is starting to come down the weights and Trikala has probably run a little better than her form figures suggest in two starts this year. AMETRINE rallied for pressure at Brighton last time having looked beaten entering the final half-mile. She might be getting the hang of things so gets a tentative vote in a modest handicap, though Good Hope might have more scope.
