In depth
Verdict
Shyjack is penalised for winning a handicap over track and trip just three days ago and DUSTY DAMSEL can take advantage of the weight concession. The latter finished runner-up here last month and a repeat may prove good enough at this level. Jeanette May is another with a shout on her recent second in one of these events while Rainbow Mirage is fitted with headgear today and Your Choice placed over 7f at Newcastle a week ago but remains without a win in 30 attempts.
