Al Azhar^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 73| D

7/2

Latest win at Newbury in June. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Weighted to go close off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 312086

Forecasts

Dark Island (5/2), Al Azhar (7/2), Genesius (9/2), Dubai Leader (5/1), Zhang Fei (8/1), Further Measure (10/1), Koeman (20/1), Gustav Holst (33/1), Beautiful Crown (40/1), Secret Potion (100/1)

AL AZHAR didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wolverhampton last time and can race off a 2 lb lower mark now so is fancied to add to his Newbury summer success. Genesius is feared most but could again have to settle for a place ahead of course-scorer Dark Island.
