SHAMLAAN added to an earlier success at Musselburgh when scoring over track and trip on his all-weather debut. He’s switched yards subsequently and is preferred to recent Wolverhampton third Fair And Square. Edinson Kevani placed at Haydock on his debut for a new yard and can figure while both Reversion and Aye Catcher have more scope than most with the former dropping down in class.
