Verdict

AL HAARITH brings Group 2 placed form to the table on his reappearance and given the yard he represents, a subsequent 8-month absence isn't really a concern. He therefore has to be the call, for all Zenford is going the right way. Krasimir is also of some interest.

2	Maiden but he's useful, upping his game when 3¼ lengths third of 5 to Hawk Mountain in Beresford Stakes at the Curragh (1m, soft) in September. Off the track since and has a tongue tie on but he's in very capable hands and the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Al Haarith (Ire) Jockey: J. M. Sheridan Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: J. M.

12	Shaped well again when very good second of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, conceding first run.
