Alrazeen²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hayley Turner| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 76

5/4

Galileo Gold colt who showed fair form when fourth on debut at Kempton (11f) and only needed to match that level when landing 5-runner Southwell novice (11.1f) 4 weeks ago, quickening to lead 2f out and kept up to work. Of interest with progress likely.

Form: 4-1

Shaad

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S Woods

11/2

Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to winner in Australia by I Am Invincible. Dam, Australian 6f winner, out of Australian Group 1 6f-7.5f winner Shamekha. Betting should prove a useful guide on debut.

Forecasts

Alrazeen (5/4), Bas Bleu (9/4), Trojan Storm (4/1), Sitcom (5/1), Shaad (11/2), Bobacious (50/1), River Chat (80/1), Mimasusa (125/1)

TROJAN STORM matched his debut form starting out for his new yard without being seen to very best effect when third in a Southwell novice 3 weeks ago and, open to further progress, he can make it third time lucky. Alrazeen, who was successful on his latest outing, is another open to further progress and he rates the chief threat. Bas Bleu can do best of the remainder.
