Al Shabab Storm¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 110| D

11/1

Smart gelding. 8/1, 17 lengths last of 9 to Kinross in Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) 175 days ago on his final run for Andrew Balding. Still much respected on his yard/tapeta debut.

Form: 211219-

Golden Mind^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 100

22/1

Useful gelding. 22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 9205-81

(6)

Royal Zabeel²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 99| BF| CD

11/2

Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (13/8) at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.

Form: 0321-12

Willem Twee¹¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 107| C

9/1

Smart gelding. Course winner. Below-form ninth of 12 to Night Raider in listed race (14/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 112 days. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort.

Form: 393179-

Witch Hunter⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hannon| OR: 109| CD

9/2

Smart gelding. C&D winner. 9/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023.

Form: 42363-6

(5)

Fair Angellica¹⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 106| D

4/1

Useful filly. Respectable fourth of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 174 days. Makes tapeta debut. Shortlisted.

Form: 1/21014-

(1)

Jabaara²²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 108| D

15/8

Useful filly. 5/2, head second of 9 to Raqiya in Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood in July (first past the post but drifted right and subsequently disqualified). Off 7 months but still merits serious consideration on her tapeta debut with yard going well.

Form: 6/31122-

Forecasts

Jabaara (15/8), Fair Angellica (4/1), Witch Hunter (9/2), Royal Zabeel (11/2), Willem Twee (9/1), Al Shabab Storm (11/1), Golden Mind (22/1)

This is wide open but Roger Varian has his string in good nick so JABAARA is taken to return in style on her first go on tapeta. Recent Kempton scorer Golden Mind heads the list of dangers with Willem Twee and Al Shabab Storm also worthy of consideration in this intriguing listed event.
