SHIMBA HILLS was placed behind the progressive Ding Ding here before winning over track and trip three weeks ago. Lawney Hill’s charge taken to confirm running with Sir Hubert despite the slightly worse terms. Orthodox Lad was placed at Ffos Las last time but has plenty to find with the selection on earlier running here while Beau Lake continues to slip down the weights and finished a bit closer last time. Catchin Time is well treated if back to his best and Cottesloe remains unexposed.
