Al Shabab¹⁵

Weight: 9-5| Age: 2

T: A M Balding J: R Kingscote

Forecasts

Habrdi (6/5), Crocus Time (7/2), Al Shabab (4/1), Grey Cuban (6/1), Les Bleus (17/2), Havana Smoke (11/1), Luas (20/1), Shield Wall (22/1), Welsh Harbour (22/1), Krysdanjord (25/1), Asian Tide (33/1), Primetime (50/1), Raft Up (66/1), Magnificentforce (80/1), Rusheen Boy (80/1)

AL SHABAB was held back by greenness when failing to meet expectations at Newbury 2 weeks ago and is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary maiden for the track. Crocus Time has the best form so needs considering, while Calyx-colt Habrdi makes the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.
