ALSHIBAA showed no signs of being all the better for a gelding operation on return to action last month but is worth another chance in a modest-looking affair. His juvenile form was quietly progressive and a return to that level would just about be good enough. Pioneering has shown little to date for either Godolphin or the O'Meara team but it's early days after three starts and he may improve now handicapping. Prince Of Clappers is another handicapping newcomer open to progress and both should be noted in the market. Daring Guest and Valley of Rocks look best of the more exposed sorts in a trappy contest.
