Verdict
Halfsin was engaged at Newmarket last night where he had a very good chance of remaining unbeaten for the season. Mickael Barzalona was on board when BURJ NAHAR won a Newmarket handicap in good fashion but not when the lightly-raced four-year-old ran into all sorts of problems at Ascot when favourite. The Derby-winning jockey takes the ride again and can make a successful return. Luca Cumani has three entries and Naqshabban looks comfortably the pick with Kieren Fallon in the plate. It's impossible to know why he produced a shocking effort when strongly fancied at Newmarket as he'd earlier looked very progressive and that can't have been his true form. All Annalena scored over the C&D on soft ground in September and her reappearance effort is best ignored.
