SHAMAHAN finished ahead of Seamster when a close-up fourth over 5f here last time. He gets a token vote in a poor contest. Monarch Maid failed to cope with a 7lb rise for winning at Ripon when well beaten at Kempton recently while Lujeanie's recent fifth came over 7f in a claimer. Blue Bounty gets first-time blinkers after a fourth at Kempton and may figure but Billy Red looks in the handicapper's grip now.
