Closertobelieving, Albaqaa and King Olav come here in good form with ALBAQAA the selection. King Olav followed up a promising debut by landing the odds at Kempton next time, where he didn't look the most straight forward of rides. His debut run hasn¿t worked out form wise, and there is the suspicion he may go off a false price as his form looks weak. He is liable to progress further but is opposed. Closertobelieving hails from a stable in form, and has won two of his last four starts. However, his two defeats in between those successes came on an easy surface, and he is taken on. A winner at Redcar and Beverley on a soft surface this campaign, Albaqaa turned in his best performance of his career last time when a close second in a ¿25,000 handicap. He is yet to score over this trip, but ran well over this distance last time, and has won over a furlong shorter. Regular pilot Paul Hanagan is on board and the combination can score at a nice price.
