Verdict

SHIELDMAIDEN wasn't beaten far when third on her debut at Lingfield despite showing signs of inexperience. The Godolphin filly gets a tentative vote here ahead of Shuhra and Sleek Gold who both step up in trip. A handful of potentially smart fillies make their introduction and include All My Heart, a 300,000 euros purchase, as well as Neumark and Oasis Memory, who are both related to winners. Etheldreda could prove best of Clive Cox's duo and Cordillera is yet another to note on her debut.
