It was well beaten last time at Newmarket on Good to Firm but has bits of pieces of form. It will have to take a step forward off his last few runs. I’ve ridden a few winners for Tony Carroll. He’s a nice guy that works hard.
He is a really nice horse that I like a lot. He won first time up at Nottingham, and absolutely hosed up on soft ground. He disappointed a little bit after that. He’s a really smart horse and won last time out at Doncaster. He’s got a very big chance.
My old friend Zhui Feng runs here as well. He ran well last time at Goodwood. He’s coming down the weights.
He won well up at Doncaster last term and the handicapper put him up 12lbs. He struggled a bit off that mark. He has been running okay and handles soft ground. I’m sure he can take a step forward and he will have a chance in what is a competitive race.
Mashhoor has a nice pedigree being by Kingman. He has been going nicely and should run a decent race.
Our other horse Aljaryaal is also nicely bred by Siyouni. At the end of the day it’s a maiden so I don’t really mind if I get it wrong. I’m hoping they both run well.
I rode him at Goodwood and we thought he’d run a big race that day. He did run okay but was stuck on the wing of the field which is very difficult at Goodwood. I expect him to take a big step forward from that run.
I don’t know too much about this horse. I rode him at home early on but this is his first start so we will find out more about him.
