Lawney Hill and Neil Mullholland are two trainers that have done well at the April fixtures here. They saddle the most likely pair in the shapes of Shimba Hills and FULL. The latter ran the useful Sire Du Berlais close in France and finished ahead of David Pipe's good mare Shaama Grise on his last run there. Those efforts suggest he has got in here on an attractive mark. Shimba Hills has been in good form at neighbouring Plumpton. He needs to be held up off a good pace and there is no guarantee of that here. The rest make little appeal but Land League may have more to offer as he steps down in distance.
