Verdict

A winner at Brighton in August, For Shia And Lula has looked high enough in the weights in subsequent outings at this track. Rafaaf won easily in this grade over track and trip in November and should still figure despite a 7lb rise, though WINTERWELL is just preferred. The latter was having only her third start in this country when runner-up here three weeks ago and, having dropped 16lb from her original mark, David O'Meara's filly can open her account. Munaawib gets the help of a 7lb claimer and could make the frame as a result.
