Verdict

Shumookh can land the opener at the expense of Diamond Shower and Amazing Charlie. The selection is well related and is a half brother to the Oaks winner Eswarah and classy miler Umniyatee. The yard are having plenty of winners at present so this newcomer by Mujahid has to be given a live chance of winning on his racecourse debut. Diamond Shower has had two runs to date and was eye catching when showing marked improvement when finishing second to Majaales at Salisbury last time out. More improvement will be needed once more to win this though. Amazing Charlie is another who has not been disgraced on either start so far so any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Shumookh.
