In depth

Verdict

Shekan Star can make the most of her light weight to outstay her rivals in the finale, with Bronze Dancer, Millennium Hall and Rare Coincidence seen as the ones to give her most to do. Shekan Star overcame a lengthy absence when scoring over 12 furlongs at Kempton in April, but has been found wanting since then, including when tried over a mile-and-a-quarter at Pontefract recently. The way that she stuck to her task when headed suggests that she will relish today's fist attempt over 13 furlongs, and with the ground to suit, she can pay to follow. Mllennium Hall won this last year for Peter Monteith, and in fact all four career wins have come round here. He would not want conditions any faster though and returns from a spell hurdling. Bronze Dancer has put in two good efforts at Catterick since returning from a winter break and will be expected to run well, while Rare Coincidence will be prominent for some time before fading no doubt. They are the main contenders, with Shekan Star the one that we fancy the most.
