There was plenty to like about the way SHEMOZZLE knuckled down against a rival with a run under her belt when making a winning debut at Newmarket in the autumn and this looks a good opportunity for her to defy a penalty. Bright Thunder looks an interesting newcomer so must be respected for a yard that can ready one.
