Verdict

Preference is for SHIFRA, who has had a light campaign and now connections have learnt how best to ride her, Pat Phelan's filly can make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts. This return to 1¼m looks a good move for Celtic Spirit, so he could be the one to provide most resistance, with Cosmic Girl rounding off the shortlist for in-form handler Andrew Balding.

1	Off the mark at Lingfield in a classified stakes in June and raised her game with a dominant display under a no-nonsense ride to double her tally in 12-runner handicap at Bath (1¼m, good) last month. 8 lb higher here but remains of interest now they've learnt how best to ride her. 1st Pick 1 Shifra (Ire) Jockey: Paddy Bradley Trainer: Pat Phelan J: Paddy Bradley T: Pat Phelan	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2

8	Bounced back to form dropped back in trip when second of 10 at this course (1m, good) 9 days ago, his effort very much one of late gains. One to consider with the return to 1¼m looking a good move. 2nd Pick 8 Celtic Spirit Jockey: Dylan Hogan Trainer: Karen Jewell J: Dylan Hogan T: Karen Jewell	96	-	-	-	13%	7/1

6	Wootton Bassett filly who showed plenty to work on when third of 5 in novice at Lingfield (7.5f, good) back in May. Disappointed on her next couple of starts but back to her debut level when third of 9 on handicap bow at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) recently. Step up to 1¼m could well eke out extra. 3rd Pick 6 Cosmic Girl Jockey: Callum Hutchinson Trainer: Andrew Balding J: Callum Hutchinson T: Andrew Balding	96	-	-	-	17%	5/1
