SHIMMERING SANDS did well to overcome a pace bias and trouble-in-running as he made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in handicaps at Leicester 4 weeks ago and, with the drop back in trip expected to hold no fears, he can make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights and come out on top again. The class dropping A Boy Named Ivy is also fancied to play a lead role, along with Golden Sands back from a short break.
