SHAMEFUL's reappearance defeat at Kempton may have been viewed as somewhat disappointing at the time but that certainly isn't the case now. Indeed, the winner went on to chase home a potentially classy colt in a listed race at Newmarket and, taking that into account, Shameful could be on a very good mark for this handicap bow. Solar Army doesn't appear entirely straightforward but he's proving consistent and is second choice with Ryan Moore aboard. The promising Nakeeb also merits respect.
