None of these inspire confidence. MODEST has so far lived up to her name but her fifth at Newbury last month is probably the best form on offer. Salt Lake Sooty failed to cope upped in class at Newmarket last time but should fare better back in this company and a similar comment applies to Its A Sheila Thing as she drops down a couple of grades. The remainder are even harder to fancy on what little they have shown so far.
