Verdict

SHIGHNESS is back on less testing ground (best form in the mud) but she's made a solid start to life in handicaps and appeals as the most solid option in an ordinary handicap for the level. Republican posted a respectable fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton last time and is potentially well treated now, so he's feared most.

  1. SHIGHNESS
