In depth
Verdict
Miss Holly and Shasta are the two to concentrate on and the former just receives the nod after going close at Ripon last time. The step up to 12 furlongs should not pose as big a problem as finding some value in the ring about her chance. Sly Baby is also open to any amount of improvement and could provide the value in the race.
