There was a lot to like about the way HAJJAM shaped in two maidens over this trip last season and this looks to represent a drop in grade. Providing a first-time hood has the desired effect, he should take some stopping with improvement in the tank. With this sharp like likely to suit Spiritofedinburgh, he looks the main danger on form, though there may be much more to come from Wonder of Dubai.
