Race preview
SHORTEN SASSY is the pick of this bunch and can get off the mark at the 10th time of asking. A respectable third in a mares' handicap at Southwell most recently, the six-year-old gets the vote in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Briery Butterfly was looking held when falling two out in that race. However, she was a well-backed favourite and better was obviously expected. This is no tougher and she could bounce back. Edna E Mode and Churchman complete the shortlist.
