MIDHMAAR has been largely disappointing but his comeback run at Nottingham was full of promise and Jim Crowley prefers his chance over Munaashid who has his first start for a new yard. Makzeem is another who hasn't fulfilled his potential yet but there's likely to be more to come from the half-brother of Al Kazeem. Forceful Appeal is a game sort who should run his race and Alejandro should get his optimum conditions.
