ALTAREQ shaped promisingly in the Wood Ditton at the Newmarket Craven meeting and is narrowly preferred to the returning Kurakka, with both colts promising to benefit from the step up to 1¼m. Desert Shadow also showed enough in Dubai earlier in the year to think he could make an impact in a race like this.
