CHAMASAY has now won two of four starts since joining David Evans and both victories came over track and trip. He has a hike in the weights to contend with but scored by six lengths last time and can go in again. Shambra is steadily improving and was fourth in a higher grade here on her latest start. She’s preferred to Seeking Attention but Forest Angel and Jive Factor are having only their second starts in a handicap and could go well if taking to the surface.
