Haazeez³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| BF

9/4

Very promising start at Newbury although that form hasn't worked out and he didn't do much for it when only second of 4 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good, 8/11) 31 days ago. Probably worth another chance on balance.

Forecasts

Shadow Of Light (5/6), Haazeez (9/4), Ultrasoul (8/1), God Of War (17/2), Lakers (14/1), Me Tarzan (33/1), Gretna Dreams (50/1), Knightmare (50/1), Toy Soldier (80/1), Dottie Diamond (125/1), Dapper Guest (200/1)

SHADOW OF LIGHT is a likely type first time up for Godolphin and is the selection before market clues. Haazeez is probably worth another chance, while Lakers and Ultrasoul are another couple of appealing newcomers from Newmarket.
