Verdict

ALIBABA DU NIL (4) returns after 8 months away and now joins the Eric Lemartinel stable. He finished fourth over 1 5/16m at Toulouse in his only start that prep, and he is fresh up over a middle distance, which suggests he is very fit. On top for us. FA'ALEH (6) resumes after 6-and-a-half months off the scene, having finished fourth over 1 ?m at this track last time out. The top combination of Lemartinel, and O'Shea, makes him firmly in contention. AF MUKHAWWAL (1) showed enough on debut over 1 ?m here on April 11, finishing fifth. That experience should prove valuable and puts him in the mix for a top-4 finish fresh up. TAROUK DU LOUP (11) was edging closer to a maiden win before his spell, signing off with a placing at this track. He is sure to be ready to run a big race fresh.
