Our view
Best selection: Shifra. Recent figures of 2121 – won last time; 32 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Pat Phelan has had 8 winners from 117 runners in our recent records.
The case against: handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Dream of Ithaca and Skimming Along.
