Verdict
Archie Watson’s runners over hurdles are always worthy of note and especially when AL ZARAQAAN is officially rated in excess of 100 on the Flat. No Recollection registered figures some way lower than that on the level though he does have the benefit of a recent look around Uttoxeter. Imperial Lightning shaped with a degree of promise in a Warwick bumper and is bred to be a more long-term prospect. Montaqem was given an enterprising ride last time out and any failure tonight won’t be down to a lack of stamina.
