FAKHAMA drops back down in grade after a York listed race fourth and is the clear form pick to defy a penalty for her Newbury debut success. Shining Jewel didn't confirm debut promise at the first time of asking, but has been given a break and she should still progress, so looks next best in a race lacking depth.
