Norma finished well ahead of Mousebird when narrowly beaten at Salisbury and should be in the mix once again. But SHREWDNESS finished well clear of the rest when beaten less than a length over today’s trip on the Turf course at Lingfield and the winner has subsequently landed a handicap. That looks strong enough form to get the vote in this. Jockey bookings suggest Thakaa is preferred to Monaafasah as she steps up in trip while Caen Na Coille ran well at Wolverhampton on her debut back in February. Litigious is a half-sister to a winner and preferred to stablemate Merry Vale of the Gosden newcomers.
