Shawami made a good start for this yard at Gowran Park recently and can go well again here if taking to the AW surface, with the trainer continuing to be in super form. Wild Shot ran well enough over C&D in March off a 4lb higher mark to be of interest now but similar sentiments apply to ANNIE APPLE, who was just ahead of him that day (Main Pulse also behind the pair). The selection is now 3lb lower in the ratings and will appreciate this step up in trip having tackled 6f at Cork a week ago, a run that should leave her spot on for this. Also stepping up in distance on just a second handicap start, Invincible Queen is one to keep an eye on.
