Verdict

Esteemable won nicely at Bath last month but will need to improve further raised 6lb for that. By contrast, SIMPLY SHINING has slid back down the weights and went close when third at Beverley last time. She should make a bold bid in this with a similar effort. Lincoln Rocks opened her account in a maiden at Beverley and has plenty of scope while Rosy Morning posted her best effort for a while when runner-up at Musselburgh recently. Persun wasn’t beaten that far when only seventh in a higher grade contest at Epsom and is another to consider in what looks a wide open contest.
