Shamaheart is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Nottingham last week and the same comments apply to recent Musselburgh winner Buccaneers Vault. The progressive IMPERIAL STATE makes more appeal as he shrugged off a penalty for winning an amateurs’ race to score cosily at Thirsk on his latest start and may not have stopped improving yet. Company Asset is another with scope and she was not beaten far at Doncaster last month while David Barron has won two of the last three renewals and he gives The Commendatore another crack at 7f having won twice over 6f already this year.
