Verdict
Pure Shores is penalised for a narrow-margin win at Nottingham while Rippling Waters’ earlier success at Kempton came in maiden company. Culdrose has failed to build on an earlier second at Leicester and ANAAKEED is preferred. The latter could only manage third when sent off favourite over 1m2f on her handicap debut but Owen Burrows’ filly gets another chance back over this shorter trip. Classified is also unexposed and makes more appeal than Side Effect while Nyala won on fast ground at Brighton last month but struggled back at the same track last week.
