In depth
Verdict
A runner-up at Salisbury in September, Al Hamd may well prove good enough on his first start since. But I CAN'T STOP (NAP) looks a safer option having found only one too good over track and trip on her racecourse debut last month when ahead of both Haabis and Attitude Rocks. Chris Wall's filly can go one better with normal progress and is also preferred to stablemate and newcomer London Glory. General Hazard is related to a winner on the all-weather and may prove best of the rest.
