Shining⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Boyle

12/1

Promising fourth to a subsequent Group 3 winner at Windsor (6f, good-to-firm) on debut in May. Disappointed subsequently however and return to this trip should suit.

Form: 46

Shorter Skirt¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

6/5

Showcasing filly, cost 70,000 gns as a foal. Half-sister to 1m winner and dam a juvenile 7f winner. Ran well on debut at Kempton when narrowly denied and met interference in the run. Leading player with improvement expected.

Form: 2

8/1

Stepped up on debut effort when finishing 3¾L eighth in a 6f contest at Newmarket (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Interesting to see how she fares.

Forecasts

Shorter Skirt (6/5), No Way Jose (13/8), Sibirica (8/1), Accommodate (9/1), Shining (12/1), Satwa Park (100/1)

SHORTER SKIRT can put her experience to good use and break her maiden at the second time of asking in this opening fillies' contest. The selection has proven herself over this trip and can see off expensive newcomer Accommodate who represents a top yard on debut. No Way Jose ran well on turf last time out and she can finish third.
