In depth
Verdict
Shouda won in similar company at Brighton last time and Cuckoo Rock scored off a 3lb lower mark at Warwick in June. HURRICANE HYMNBOOK wasn't beaten far in third at the same track earlier this month but in a much better race than this and Willie Musson's charge may come out best today. Present Day is another to consider after her recent fourth at Salisbury and Into The Wind has won two of her last three starts and makes more appeal than Polytrack winner Beat Route.
