Verdict

A good run in the opener would be a pointer to the chances of stable companion Humid, who was the better fancied of the pair at Catterick. SHEM is a son of Kodiac and a half-brother to five winners. He cost 52,000gns and can make a winning start to his career. Footstepstothehart has placed in both starts to date and has each-way claims again and Artorious, a £55,000 yearling, is worth a market check from a yard that can get one ready at home.
