Verdict
Barry Hills has found a good opportunity for Shouette to get off the mark, and she is hard to oppose in the getting out stakes, with Sahem the most likely to chase her home. The beautifully bred filly by Sadler's Wells showed plenty of promise on her sole start as a juvenile, when fifth in a big field at Yarmouth, and showed she had developed from two to three when chasing home Tuning Fork on her reappearance on soft ground at Haydock. The winner was only just beaten in the Dante Stakes and there is unlikely to be anything of that calibre here. Best of the rest should certainly be Sahem, a former bumper winner who has been placed on both starts on the flat so far and is likely to fare well in handicap company when stepped up in trip. Millagros was second on her debut at Musselburgh but was then disappointing on her only subsequent run here and is probably best watched for now.
