Verdict

A quintet to view positively with DISTANT SHORE just about the most persasive option with her runner-up effort at Sandown last month on first crack at 1m looking a strong piece of form. Darzah also arrives here on the up, while Great Mates may have more to offer for Marco Botti.

3	Overcame inexperience to dead heat at Salisbury on debut over 6f a year ago. Improved for 1m when runner-up on second handicap start at Sandown last month, doing well after conceding first run. That race looks pretty strong form so major contender up 4 lb. 1st Pick 3 Distant Shore Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ray Dawson T: Roger Varian	100	-	-	-	39%

2	Dubawi filly got off the mark in 1m Bath novice in May. Disappointing handicap debut at Sandown a fortnight later but shrugged that off in no uncertain terms when doubling tally at Newmarket by ¾ length from Luna Celeste, pushed out. Limit not yet reached. 2nd Pick 2 Darzah Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas J: Tom Marquand T: William Haggas	97	-	-	-	29%

1	Fairly useful for Michael Wigham, including a Wolverhampton novice win last November. Failed to land strong support starting out for Marco Botti at Newmarket last month (hooded) but made no mistake back over 1m at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Up 3 lb but there could be more to come. 3rd Pick 1 Great Mates Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Marco Botti J: Marco Ghiani T: Marco Botti	96	-	-	-	23%
