Verdict
Shankara had shown some potential on the all-weather over the winter but refused to race at Yarmouth last month so is worth avoiding for now. Sugardrop made a promising debut at Goodwood before well beaten on soft ground at Doncaster then looking one-paced at Chelmsford but ALWAYSANDFOREVER made a superb debut behind Coronet at Leicester in September and the exploits of the winner in scoring at Listed and Group 2 level subsequently gives Luca Cumani's filly the obvious edge here, though the fact that she hasn't been seen since and has no future entries has to be a concern.
