Verdict

ALHAAJEB returned a winning favourite over course and distance last month. There looks more to come from Mark Johnston’s colt and he’s just preferred to Concious. The latter escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Kempton and should be in the mix again while Petalite is expected to improve having only her second start in a handicap. Dourado and Salam Ya Faisal step back up in distance but Eaglesglen won over a longer trip here at the end of last year.
