Timassini would have claims on her second at Uttoxeter last month but she’s disappointed since at Warwick and will have to prove she handles the ground. SHADOW’S GIRL (NAP) won this last year when a pound higher. Richard Johnson is back on board for the first time since and it will be a surprise if the grey doesn’t go close to a repeat. At First Light also returns to action on a fair mark and Georgian Firebird is capable when in the mood. Guardia Top runs in the 4.00 so Shroughmore Lass may be best of the rest.
