Verdict

If SHEREKIYA gets back to the form she showed when third in a Curragh handicap on her penultimate start she might prove the answer to this maiden. Ryefield Dasher has acquitted himself well in handicaps lately and is second choice ahead of Joseph O'Brien's Big Cypress. Colpe Cross could also play a prominent role if recapturing last year's form with her reappearance behind her.

12	Hails from a quality Aga Khan family. Shaped well when close third of 13 in 1m handicap at the Curragh (good) last month.
