Verdict

Just twelve runners line up for this nursery where several have to be considered, including Lizhar and Imperialistic, but Shinko Femme could just have the edge. Following some promising efforts in maiden company, Nigel Tinker's filly wasn't beaten far on her handicap debut at Brighton recently and looks very well in here with just seven stone thirteen in the plate. Imperialistic is at the other end of the handicap, and deserves that position having run well against decent opposition throughout the season. Lizhar finally came good when thrashing Bookiesindexdotcom at Southwell last time and a follow up in certainly not out of the question. Of the others recent winner Alice Blackthorn is worthy of a mention as is John Quinn's Lets Get It On, but for the selection we'll take a chance on Shinko Femme.
