In depth

Verdict

Alhaazm completed a four-timer here, starting last September and ending in April. He hasn't run badly from his raised mark on the track the last twice though finished behind Eagle's Flight when the latter just got up over a mile last week. Michael Halford's charge had earlier finished behind Irwin over the trip and Joseph O'Brien's colt can confirm the form on just his fifth start. Zola Sakura scored at Gowran in June and is now 11lb higher after a couple of very fair performances. ZOZIMUS has won around here but outran all previous performances when fourth in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket last month, form that would easily be good enough for this.
