Won both starts at this course this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9.9f, 6/1). Off 9 months. Can give another good account in hat-trick bid.

Sole start for D. Watson when well-beaten eleventh of 14 to Salute The Soldier in Maktoum Challenge Round 3 (33/1) at this course (9.9f). Rejoined former yard. Work to do back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Alhzeem (3/1), Wessall (3/1), Franz Strauss (5/1), Shafaaf (5/1), Deciduous (13/2), Vasilakos (15/2), Book Review (28/1), Military Law (28/1), New Comedy (33/1)

Verdict

ALHZEEM has been in good form and looks the one to be with, but he can't afford to put a foot wrong. Franz Strauss has taken to this surface really well and is most likely the sternest opposition. Shafaaf has some interesting French form and is in the running for a share of the minor money.

  1. Alhzeem3/1
