In depth

Verdict

AL MAROOM couldn't get close to stablemate Kafoo over the track and trip last month, when Talo was a long way behind, but was staying on and her rider's claim is a bonus. The yard has three other entries with Lake Causeway, who returned to something like his best when runner-up over the course and distance last week, probably the pick as Benmalek hasn't shown much and Rakeez has his first run since arriving from France. Emkadam wasn't beaten far in a 7f maiden on Turf in April but hasn't run subsequently and Yestahell has an even longer absence to overcome.
