Esme Shelby didn’t take to fences at Sedgefield and is tried in cheekpieces here. She placed several times last season but COLONIAL EMPIRE (NAP) makes more appeal after close seconds at Ffos Las and Uttoxeter as he will be 4lb higher in the weights from next week. Ramo has more scope than King Of Quinta of the others.
