A couple of these won separate divisions of a course and distance handicap last month. Global Art ended a long losing run and is 4lb higher but SHEILA is less exposed. The latter returned a winning favourite for Hugo Palmer’s in-form yard and there looks more to come. Crystal Carole and Our Shakila had earlier won over a mile and Fortune Finder steps up in trip for his handicap debut while Dutch Painting and Always Fearless slip further down the weights and Casual Reply looks no nearer winning.
