Shadow's Girl took a while to get on top of DREWMAIN LEGEND at Chepstow and the runner-up is now slightly better off at the weights so there is every chance of a form reversal. Wise Coco has been on the go for a while but has improved lately and has place claims again. Wincanton third Broke Away is also worth a second look at the foot of the weights but is a long-standing maiden.
