Pretty Shiftwell has to be of interest going handicapping after making all to score at Wolverhampton last month. A mark of 62 seems a reasonable starting point but she's only had the three starts and COLEY'S KOKO (NAP)makes greater appeal despite conceding weight all round. Things didn't pan out in a Beverley handicap latest but he's a smooth-travelling sort who needs the run of the race. Hopefully he'll enjoy a decent passage and unlock his customary late thrust. Moonshiner has been generally consistent, ran a good second at Bath and Hollie Doyle is booked, so a decent effort is anticipated despite her maiden tag. Mokaman and Lucky Ava can take a hand.
