In depth
Verdict
Shalambar has been in very good form at Kempton over the winter and should go well and holds Honourable Knight on their latest 1-2 in March. There's plenty more to come from BROUGHTON SANDS, who makes his handicap debut after landing a Lingfield maiden in February. Willie Musson is a superb placer of his horses and his lightly-raced four-year-old can get the better of the maiden Reset City who will find this trip more suitable than the 1m2f she ran over at Redcar last time. Shirataki is a Kempton specialist who has never won on turf but Filun was in excellent form early last summer and was only beaten a length in a handicap at Epsom in June from today's mark.
