Shahzeena is certain to attract support despite making her handicap debut after three runs and made a successful debut on testing ground at the Curragh. SACRIFICIAL has been progressing throughout the campaign and though he's already completed a double it was his run in the Britannia Stakes at Ascot that points to his chances here as he was drawn much higher than the pair who finished in front of him. That sort of form could see him running in pattern-race company before long and he can prove that here. Fit For The Job won a juvenile race at the fixture a year ago then landed a nursery at Tipperary but he's shown nothing in tough handicaps this season. The bookies run for cover when Tony Martin has one lurking at the bottom of a handicap so Laganore is one to watch in the market on his handicap debut, especially as he will have found 6f on the short side when scoring at Naas. Wonder Holy is another on a low mark who has plenty of scope and he could be worth an each-way saver.
