Verdict
Mullit has been well beaten on both starts though showed good speed over Sandown's stiff 5f last time. Charles Hills is having a cracking season with his juveniles and though Anna Law was beaten a long way on her introduction there should be much more to come. Shrimper Roo will improve from his debut on this track where ran well for a long way while Richard Fahey is really going for this with three entries and Dance Off, who showed potential at Beverley, can prove best of the trio from her low draw. Opt Out and SHILLITO have had their chances and the former has been beaten at short odds in five of his six starts. This will be the first time he's raced on quick ground but Shillito ran fast for a long way at Pontefract on Sunday on good to firm going and should have enough pace to see these rivals off.
