Verdict
Texas Man is upped in class bidding for a hat-trick while Shanko finished ahead of High Velocity when placed at Windsor recently. Mytilda will be winning again this year and returns to action along with dual novice winner Le Beau Garcon. But SACRED JEWEL made a winning reappearance at Leicester on her debut for Julie Camacho’s yard and the former Godolphin filly may prove the one to side with now handicapping.
