Verdict
Shafafya handled the step up to 1m2f at Ripon but she has another quarter-mile to cover here. Mediation also has her first run over this trip but she should stay considering her last run was over 1m6f. DUBKA (NAP) was still green on her second start at Chepstow but overcame her inexperience to forge clear inside the final furlong and, with further improvement guaranteed, she can cash in on the fact that she's getting weight all round in this. Yankee Mail is another who may have stamina issues but Mirsaalah should find this easier having contested Listed races since scoring on rain-softened ground at Nottingham.
