    Race Analysis

    An interesting three-year-old novice event. SHABAB AL AHLI (4) represents leading connections. The colt made a winning debut two months ago scoring by 8. 5L attempting a 1m3f novice race at Southwell AW. Holds Group entries in the coming months and looks promising. Top chance. MALTESE CROSS (1) confirmed debut promise (Ascot 1m second) when a narrow winner of a 1m maiden at Newmarket last September. Main danger. ALFARAZ (5) placed second both outings to date at Goodwood over 1m before a 2. 25L defeat in the 1m1/2f Wild Card conditions race at Epsom Downs last September. Makes appeal. JOULANY (9) produced a decent fourth in a York 1m maiden during October with form working out well. Not discounted.
