Admiral Winning Line Handicap Stakes

Shimmering Sands arrives on the back of two wins in his last five starts, with a third last time out keeping him in good heart, and experience over today's trip and going adds further confidence; the chief concern is whether 135 lb proves too stiff a burden.

Mao Shang Wong showed smart form when second three starts back, and his experience over today's distance and going stands him in good stead from stall six carrying 134 lb; the worry is that his last two runs have been disappointing.

Amidst The Chaos shaped with promise when runner-up last time out and has experience of today's distance and going, but an unplaced effort two starts back tempers enthusiasm; the 134 lb burden is no help for a horse rated 74 officially.

Beaten into fifth last time out and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Mwafaq is hard to fancy at the top of the weights on 133 lb, though he has distance and going experience to call on and his record in recent starts does include two wins.

Rodoya has been out of action for 231 days and ranks eighth of nine on our figures, with three consecutive finishes of eighth, sixth, and eighth in recent starts making her hard to fancy, though she does have distance and going experience to call on.
