Shamarouski won over track and trip when last in action but that was over a year ago and he’s switched yards since. A couple of these raced here two days ago with Vitesse Du Son opening his account having earlier finished behind Trusty Rusty. The former carries 6lb extra but LEO DAVINCI can race off the same mark as when third here last Saturday having been forced to race wide and he gets another chance in this from a more favourable draw. Beau Geste may prove best of the rest.
