Sea Of Mystery won a selling handicap over track and trip last time with Panatos well beaten but is facing better opposition in this. The unpredictable Thahab Ifraj has won twice over course and distance but ran a shocker over 1m6f last time and SHINE BABY SHINE is taken to reverse running with the former here in October. Philip Kirby’s charge has gone close in both subsequent outings and looks more likely to run her race today. Master Burbidge was narrowly beaten back on the Flat at Wolverhampton recently and is not without a chance if proving suited to today’s surface.
