Nothing went right for AL HAJAR when odds-on at Newmarket last month. He’d earlier run a subsequent Group 3 winner to a nose at HQ and a repeat of than form would see him open his account today. Farhh Away shaped nicely at Newcastle earlier this month and is likely to show the benefit of that run here. Echo Cove and Canadian George are other likely improvers while jockey bookings would suggest Recks is likely to be the more forward of the Karl Burke debutants.
