Shelia's Star is well served by the framing of this claimer and based on her half-a-length third at Bath two runs back she should be a leading player. Perhaps not as much as a leading chance as SCENTED, who has been mildly progressive in some good looking maidens and although it is a concern connections have opted for this route rather than handicaps she must be given every respect with Richard Hughes in the plate. Andy Haynes usually places his horses well so seller winner Rather Cool should be noted with Paul Hanagan getting the leg
