Verdict

Shemshal makes his debut on the Flat having won over hurdles last month. Resiliency made a promising start at Dundalk only to disappoint at Navan last time while Baareh hasn't raced since October. But ZARAWI put a poor effort over 1m4f behind him to finish third at Cork last week behind Achnaha, who is rated 93, and Dermot Weld's charge gets another chance to open his account in this. Ceoldrama is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and worth noting on her debut.
