Verdict
SHADOW OF THE SUN went close on fast ground before her recent third at Kempton. She can open her account on her handicap debut with improvement likely. Although 5lb higher than her last win, Imaginary Diva remains on a winning mark and should figure, while Silvanus is no forlorn hope back in this grade after making no impression at Redcar on Saturday. Griffin Point is 6lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and The Strig will need to step up on his recent second at Folkestone to score here.
