ALBISHR was caught in the closing stages over track and trip three weeks ago when attempting to make all. Rated 96, Simon Dow’s colt finished well ahead of Legal History on that occasion and should have the measure of these including Holy Shambles. The latter made up late ground to finish fifth here on his debut with Sovereign Duke and Storm Again behind but Orchid Lily may prove a bigger threat having finished closer at Yarmouth when last seen in action in October.
