Verdict
Ajmal Ihsaas made a promising start over 5f at Ascot last May and breeding suggests today's trip will be within her compass. But she returns from a long lay-off and MELBOURNE SHUFFLE is just preferred on her earlier narrow-margin defeat at Lingfield. Beverley runner-up Pamushana makes most appeal of the others with racecourse experience on her reappearance while Yankee Mail may prove best of the newcomers.
