SHADY BAY (8) battled on well to hold second last start over 2300m at Windsor, beaten half a length when fresh from a spell. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot take this out. FIHRAYN (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. DASHINWHITESARGENT (2) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 2000m at Lingfield. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. ANNEXATION (6) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 3200m at Warwick.
