Maydream recorded a double over C&D last term but is 7lb higher on her return to action and may need the outing. Shy has been placed on the all-weather recently and should be in the mix back on this surface but 1m2f winner Pandorica has a bit to prove over today's longer distance. SHADES OF GREY won at Newbury in October and was beaten only a head at this track before that. With a recent run at Windsor under her belt, Clive Cox' filly looks up to taking this off her current mark.
