5/1

Cost a ton originally and shaped well in 7f/1m maidens for William Haggas last June. Off 9 months. No surprise if he had more to offer for new yard this year and leading claims here.

9/2

Promise on debut at Newbury (6f) in September but not so good at Salisbury next time. First run for 179 days and will make more appeal when handicapping.

5/6

4/1, promising debut third of 6 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) 123 days ago, forced wide but no match for exciting winner. Should progress for top connections.

Forecasts

Torrkee (5/6), Billy Mill (9/2), G'daay (9/2), Al Qaasim (5/1), Danny Bleu (28/1), Dew You Believe (33/1), Silent Flame (40/1), Sennen (66/1), Coatofmanycolours (66/1)

AL QAASIM didn't last long with William Haggas but shaped with plenty of promise in 2 runs for the yard as racing resumed last June and could do a lot better for new connections. He gets the vote to make a successful return, with Torrkee and G'Daay, who both made encouraging debuts, looking the dangers.
