Verdict

SHIRZAN was first past the post on her Flat debut at Tramore only to be disqualified for her rider weighing in light and she can gain compensation on the back of 2 very good efforts over hurdles. Sunny South West heads the list of dangers with this step up in trip a positive, while Yogini and Teofil also warrant plenty of respect in this fascinating maiden.
