ZABEEL PRINCE cost 325,000gns which is hardly surprising given he's out of a mare who has produced winners with her first five foals to race including a Group 2 winner in Australia. He's making a belated racecourse debut and doesn't have much to beat though he's likely to start at prohibitive odds. Shah Of Armaan made a promising debut at Hamilton and got no sort of run on his only subsequent start at Pontefract so he should be capable of better while Blue Cliffs attracted support on his debut over 6f here last week which suggests he can find a little race somewhere. Einstein looked very green at Newcastle last week and should be capable of better.
