Shilpa has had a break since scoring at Ffos Las in June but is still one for the short-list here along with recent Uttoxeter second Torran Sound. But many of the others have a bit to prove at present so this looks a good opportunity for GOAT CASTLE to get off the mark. Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding deserves a change of luck having finished second in four of his 10 starts over timber and last month's run behind Golden Dream at Uttoxeter is arguably the best recent form on offer. Consult was pulled up on his latest start at Newton Abbot but had Cresswell Pride behind successful over 2m3f here previously and isn't out of this.
