SHABBAH (NAP) showed himself to be a nicely handicapped three-year-old at this level when scoring most decisively at Bath on his seasonal reappearance for Sir Michael Stoute and should be able to follow up here under a penalty with Ryan Moore in the plate. There really ought to be plenty more in the locker from the son of Sea The Stars. Pinstripe is of note on this handicap bow but may need more time and Kemsing could well emerge as the main danger if able to produce the same level of performance on turf as shown during a winter campaign played out almost exclusively on Fibresand. Shadow Spirit showed improved form here on his final juvenile start and the Eustace string has been running to form so far this term and a good run is anticipated.
