In depth

Verdict

It will be surprise if the well bred Shafeeq can take, what looks like an average maiden. From the same family as the useful Roseate Tern, he will be suited by the step up in trip and can prove too strong for his rivals. Maunsell's Road, may have better luck in a handicap, a similar comment applies to Man From Havana. Misty Dancer, runner-up behind the much improved Simeon at Goodwood last year, is interesting and will be a danger if fully wound up.
