This can go the way of Albareq, who has shown enough on his two starts to date, to suggest he can win his maiden. He holds entries in all the top races and it will be a surprise if he fails to get off the mark here. He may be followed home by Doc Watson, who does have ability, but he may do better when he goes handicapping, while the minor honours can be fought out by Almutasader, who is a half-brother to the high class sprinter Vision Of Night and Strenue.
