11/2

Good second of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 13/2) 43 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in her bid for a maiden success off a 2 lb lower mark here.

Form: 023842

(8)

Shamilla¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 52

9/1

80/1, best effort when fifth of 12 in minor event at this course (6f) 16 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps.

Forecasts

Wrought Iron (9/4), Imperial Khan (4/1), Glasstrees (11/2), Mary Of Modena (6/1), Ballistic Berry (15/2), Madame Fenella (8/1), Shamilla (9/1), Thakrah (40/1)

A few with chances but GLASSTREES can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when posting a good second at Musselburgh so gets the nod. Shamilla is feared most now she steps into handicap company for the first time, with Wrought Iron and Mary of Modena not discounted either.
