Verdict
All of these are winners handicapping for the first time with a speculative vote going to SHANDY STAR, who won a conditions race at Pontefract recently. Miss Jungle Cat faced a tougher task in Listed company at Newmarket last time and gets a change of headgear while Sanks A Million beat both Rock Opera and Jm Jungle when scoring at Chester. Misty Blues represents last year’s winning yard while Wetherby winner Just Janet is preferred to stablemate Jaxta.
