Tabarrak¹⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 110| D

9/2

Has won twice in Listed company and sets the standard on form here but soft ground is something of an unknown. Yard won this last year and possibly more to come so he has to be on the shortlist.

Form: 215921-

Another Touch³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 103| D

10/1

Won a Listed race at Pontefract in July but out of form this winter over in Dubai. Seemingly has a bit to do on these terms, even with race fitness on his side.

Form: 081-658

(3)

Born To Be Alive²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 104| D

8/1

Not won since his maiden win at Ayr and struggled out in Meydan this winter. Has proved competitive in Listed company before but hard to fancy against less exposed rivals and a place may be the best he can hope for.

Form: 232-740

Crazy Horse³⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: George Baker| OR: 107| BF

20/1

Campaigned in France as well as England and he's effective in these conditions. Not seen since well beaten in this race last year and has been gelded and changed trainers since. Probably best watched but not out of it on his best form.

Form: 16122/8-

Intern¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: D M Simcock| OR: 102

5/1

Leopardstown maiden winner on debut and didn't need to improve to win a Wolverhampton Class 5 last time with ease. This is much tougher and needs a clear career best to win this, despite a placed effort in Group company earlier in his career.

Form: 2034-51

(5)

Zabeel Prince¹⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 106| D

10/11

Paid the price for holding a prominent position in a strongly run race at Ascot on Champions' Day but highly progressive prior to that. Won first-up last year and fair chance he can do similar with more improvement possible.

Form: 2/1110-

Forecasts

Zabeel Prince (10/11), Tabarrak (9/2), Intern (5/1), Born To Be Alive (8/1), Another Touch (10/1), Crazy Horse (20/1)

ZABEEL PRINCE has done little wrong in his career to date and he can be forgiven his run on Champions' Day last time out; he's lightly raced and will prove hard to beat if ready to go first time. Tabarrak is an intriguing runner who can't be ruled out if he handles the ground. Of the remainder, Crazy Horse makes most appeal given that he will find conditions to his liking more than most.
