Verdict
SHAARA made a winning debut last year but hasn’t raced since failing to figure in the Group 3 Fred Darling back in April. She should go close back at this level given Shampion also returns from a lay-off. The latter is fitted with a hood after finishing fourth at Lingfield back in December while Jubilee Girl finished closer at Musselburgh last time and is preferred to Kitty Pi. Invisible Friend is a sister to a winner and Kevin Ryan’s yard has been among the winners this week.
