Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Shallow
A wide-open 6f handicap for fillies and mares, but Shallow heads our ratings after a close-up third at York in better company a fortnight ago, and she is consistent of late with first-time cheekpieces adding further interest. There's A Chance is the main danger, her last win coming in more comfortable fashion than the margin suggests off a 5lb lower mark, and she is bred for faster ground; Lara Antipova brings the appeal of a horse just entering handicaps after a maiden win of some substance. Shallow is our selection.
