Verdict
A wide-open handicap may see Mrs Shilling improve enough to score, with Jubilee Street, Mount Hillaby and Legal Set just three more in with claims. Mrs Shilling takes on older opposition here, but is going the right way judged on her two outings this season. She was quietly fancied at Salisbury and was backed accordingly, but needed the run and finished third, while at Lingfield last time it was a similar scenario as she just stayed on in fourth behind Kodiak. She should now be spot on though and it would be no surprise if she were to improve enough to take a hand. Jubilee Street lines up in form, having won two of his last three starts and will no doubt be a popular choice. However, he is two pounds worse off with Legal Set who was just half a length behind him at Catterick last time and so is no good thing to uphold that form. Mount Hillaby won well enough at York last time but she was laid out for that and may struggle off this higher mark. Bryan Smart won this last year with Creskeld and now relies on Atlantic Ace who is thrown in on his best form. He has been disappointing this term though, and we reckon that it is safer to rely on Mrs Shilling who can make the frame at least.
