Verdict
SHAMWARI, runner-up in a Leopardstown Listed contest last month, wasn't beaten far in similar company at Naas next time and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark. King Leodegrance, in virtually the same ownership, looks the main threat having led for a long way over 1m5f at Leopardstown though the €250,000 colt Galileo's Compass hasn't been beaten far in both starts. Letiza failed to stay 1m5f in the Ulster Derby but had done much better over this trip earlier including on this track.
