In depth
Verdict
Kanz was sent off odds-on favourite at Chepstow on the back of a good effort in a Class 2 maiden at Goodwood. But she could only manage a modest second there while Where The Boys Are also disappointed at this track last time though she had the excuse of not taking to the soft ground. With doubts surrounding the aforementioned pair the vote goes SHILLA, a promising runner-up on her debut at Windsor and likely to improve for the experience. Artemis and Miss Lawless are both related to winning sprinters and make most appeal of the newcomers.
