      Verdict

      The veteran SHALAMBAR has done all his winning on the all-weather at Kempton so far but looks to have strong claims of adding this venue to the list. A runner-up over 2m last time, he makes more appeal than Munsarim, a disappointing favourite in a seller here last month. He should also have the measure of the struggling Annakrista while Vertueux and Boston Blue have both been hurdling of late and have little chance on today's terms reverting to this code.
