Race preview
SHANGHAI DRAGON has solid handicap form over this trip and may get her turn back in maiden company. She was runner-up in a course and distance nursery at the back-end and made a bright start to the season when again filling that spot in a 17-runner contest at Cork. There was little wrong with her front-running fourth at the Curragh on Guineas weekend. Sareeha showed promise on her sole start for William Haggas and was pipped by a head on her first Irish start at Limerick. The drop back from a mile may be to her advantage. Three Laws was third on softish ground at Cork and also comes back in trip by a furlong. Her stable is beginning to click into gear and she could well improve enough from that debut effort to go close here.
