Verdict

ALSHAFAQ (10) is a gelding by Rb Burn out of Al Fajer, who makes his raceday debut. He has performed encouragingly in a recent trial and profiles as one capable of making a positive impression first-up. MONTECRISTO (11) resumed for a new stable last start and acquitted himself well when placed over 1 ?m at this track, his first attempt on dirt. With natural gate speed, he is expected to settle prominently, and a return to his best ratings would see him highly competitive. MUTAMASIK (7) finished midfield over 1m here a fortnight ago and now steps up in distance. He possesses good early speed and should secure a forward position, bringing him into calculations. SALIM NOUR GRINE (12) returns from a three-and-a-half-month break. He was fourth over 1 ?/16m at Agen prior to the layoff and appears suitably placed to feature prominently in the finish.
