This small-field scenario might not see SHIMMERING SANDS to maximum effect, but the Easterbys' gelding still has the look of a horse ahead of his mark and he may still be able to notch his second win of the term here. Craft In Silk produced her best effort to date last time and looks the main danger, with Control the pick of the remainder.
