Clive Brittain caused something of an upset when Wahylah scooped the pot last season and the veteran handler attempts a repeat with an exposed maiden in Shafaani. We look elsewhere and GRAPHIC GUEST looks to have the most obvious claims on the book. The daughter of Dutch Art appeared to lose her way after a couple of promising victories at Windsor and Ascot, but she put up a fair effort in Listed company at Salisbury a fortnight ago and she can run well here. Fantacise romped away with a Pontefract maiden earlier in the season and Brian Meehan's filly is sure to appreciate this drop in grade having struggled to make her mark in Pattern races. Badr Al Badoor dropped away tamely in the Lowther at York and is clearly better than that bare form suggests while Victrix Ludorum has to be respected as she carries the colours of sales race queen, Julie Wood.
