Verdict
Shamalov was placed over a longer trip in a Ballinrobe claimer a fortnight ago and is preferred to fellow Irish challenger Burning Lake. Course regular Royal Duchess hasn’t won since 2016 though still finished in front of Naples Bay here last month while Let Right Be Done posted a better effort at Musselburgh last week. But CAMBELEZA (NAP) wasn’t beaten far at Leicester on his seasonal return and first start after wind surgery and with plenty of scope for improvement, Kevin Ryan’s charge is taken to open his account in this.
