Verdict
Several of these are returning to maiden company having failed to score in handicaps. Meccabah edges things at the weights and drops back down in distance having placed over track and trip early this year while both Cape To Cuba and Beyond Recall were beaten less than a length over course and distance on their latest respective starts. All of the above are worthy of consideration but a chance is taken on the returning SHEILA’S ROCK, who shaped well enough when separating a couple of subsequent winners to finish third at Windsor back in May and should have improved in the interim.
