      Verdict

      Though she’s only placed once in six starts, Ready To Shine looks the pick of the older fillies. Fox Flame is more exposed than stablemate Grain Of Hope but has won on Tapeta. LADY RASCAL (NAP) steps up in trip again after opening her account at Salisbury but she is a full sister to useful stayer Nate The Great so stamina shouldn’t be an issue.
