Shaykhoon¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

7/2

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 10 days ago. Less exposed than a lot of these and a 5 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 3603-51

Sharsted^h1⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 63

66/1

In good hands but failed to beat a rival in 2 outings in this spring. A near 10-week break needs to have done her some good. Also has a hood added.

Preference is for SHAYKHOON who is unexposed so could have more to come on the back of his breakthrough success at Newcastle last week. Fellow 3-y-o Ventura Vision is respected as a last-time-out C&D winner, while Too Shy Shy should also play a part if backing up last week's 1m course second.
