Verdict
MINIYAMBA went close to winning at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and from that same career-low mark this switch to the Fibresand may prove the catalyst to a maiden success. John Dunlop is 0-2 here in the past five seasons, but this Sadler's Wells filly, who acts on slow ground on turf, may be able to improve that record. Debutant Shouda is bred to go well at this sort of trip and related to a German Group 3 winner and, being trained by Barney Curley, the market should tell us plenty. Ice Maiden ran reasonably well here over a similar trip on one previous try and is certainly worth consideration for a place, while Odin's Raven has his first start for trainer Brian Ellison and has shown enough in Ireland to suggest that he can get very competitive.
