WULFRIDA is the pick with One More Tico and Bin Shamardal as the dangers. James Fanshawe's filly showed up eyecatchingly on her last run of the season and with paddock values rather than prize money the aim, he has clearly been charged with finding a winning opportunity for her. One More Tico is a debutant for Mark Johnston. Traditionally, his horses have improved for a first run though this gelding has a pedigree that suggests that they waited patiently for him to mature. Bin Shamardal is respected with Barry Hills yard already among the winners. He already shapes as if needing further. Switched Off has been running in bumpers thus far. He is a nicely bred individual who could go well at a big price. Law To Himself has a pedigree that screams a mile and Kieren Fallon is an eyecatching booking. I'm Frank made no impression on his flat debut. Wulfrida is our selection.
