Perth Festival Day 3 preview: Seldom Inn to strike for Sandy

The George Bewley trained mare got off the mark at Hexham back in November when sauntering clear to win by 30 lengths off a mark of 95.

Innis Shannon got whacked up 12lbs to 107 for that runaway success, and ran as if amiss off it when sent off 2/1 second favourite and finishing a distant fourth at Kelso.

The six-year-old was then given a break and shaped as if needing the outing at Ayr when fourth to W Six Times, making good headay from the rear two from home before being unable to find an extra and weakening to be beaten 24 lengths.

Innis Shannon backed that up with a decent third at Hexham last time out, sticking to the task well after making a number of costly errors.

Those two runs should have blown away the cobwebs, and the handicapper has been quick to drop her another 2lb.

Innis Shannon is now able to race off a rating of 100, just 5lb higher than when last victorious, and that makes the daughter of Stowaway look nicely treated on the pick of her form.
