AZABITMOUR showed a degree of temperament on the Flat but seemed to appreciate the switch to hurdles at Plumpton, rallying up the straight to catch the more experienced Andi'Amu on the line with a previous winner in third. The first three were well clear of the others so the form may stand up and he can defy a penalty. The ex-Godolphin inmate Air Of Glory has his first run on Turf though did win on the Polytrack but Verano has been well beaten in both starts so far over timber. Ghost Runner won a Windsor maiden for the late Sir Henry Cecil last June and looks best of the rest.
