SHABAABY (NAP) has a leading chance at the weights and will be sharper for last month’s third in a Listed sprint at Newbury. He finished in front of Cardsharp on that occasion and Jim Crowley prefers him to the returning Mokarris. The latter raced just the once last year when well beaten in a Group 3 contest at Ascot and Mythmaker looks a bigger threat having gone close in a handicap at Haydock last month with Dancing Star not far away in third. The latter has been beaten in Listed company subsequently while Lady Dancealot is impossible to fancy on these terms.
