Verdict
Joe Eile has been running well all year though he's twice been beaten off this mark, which is the highest he's ever been. Fairy Wing is better handicapped on Turf than the all-weather and produced another good run behind the in-form Footprint here last week. Jembatt should be winning soon as he's dropped to a lowly mark and looked on the way back when last seen at the Curragh in May though all the signs are that SHAMORA is the one to be on. Andy Oliver's filly makes her handicap debut but by the way she demolished her rivals in a maiden here a couple of weeks ago she's been let in lightly.
