A very trappy heat where a cautious stance is advised with regard to having a punt. However, Shamarco has the scope to do well in handicaps and is taken to build on some promising efforts. Majhool appeals as the main danger and could be the one to capitalise if Shamarco fails to deliver. Fax to Sooty is another to consider but he is hard to win with and is not the most reliable win only selection.
