Awjab finished last on his previous attempt at 7f so SHOOTINGSTA makes more appeal. He's been getting closer over 6f and is a half-brother to winners over longer trips. Le Rouquin disappointed last time having shown glimpses of promise on his debut at Newmarket and Sekuras Girl failed to show much progress at Thirsk recently. Ingleby Hollow is a half-brother to the smart Ingleby Angel among others but fellow newcomer and 220,000gns purchase Layerthorpe could prove a bigger threat.
