None of these inspire much confidence but SHAMAHEART is back on a winning mark and has been thereabouts in both starts so far this year. It could be his turn again today as he finished ahead of Echo Of Lightning when fourth at Thirsk last time. The latter scored on soft ground at Leicester in October while Stun Gun won on the Fibresand at Southwell in March but has plenty to find with the selection on collateral form. Munjally has tumbled down the weights but was a disappointing favourite at Ayr a week ago while Relight My Fire has own three times over track and trip but hasn't raced since September.
