Verdict

TARJEEH clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but he evidently possesses plenty of ability, taking his career record to 2 wins from 3 starts when successful at Wolverhampton in October. Open to further progress now handicapping, he gets the vote to make light of another absence. Al Anoud is another likely improver on return/handicap debut and is feared, with Island Star and Tony Montana completing the shortlist.

  1. TARJEEH (IRE)
  2. AL ANOUD (FR)
  3. ISLAND STAR (IRE)
