Promising individual. 11/2, second of 11 in maiden at this C&D (AW) on debut 34 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to improve from that and his chance is clear for all to see.

Forecasts

Al Marmar (4/9), Addingham (7/2), Mekbat (17/2), Ummsuquaim (14/1), By Your Side (20/1), Unknown Territory (25/1), Zion Star (40/1), Red Dwarf (125/1), Gee Eight (300/1)

AL MARMAR shaped very well on debut here and he's likely to take a further step forward today. He should be tough to beat. Addingham is an interesting newcomer for a top yard and he has to be feared. Mekbat is another newcomer that can't be ruled out.
