RACING POST VERDICT

Southwell debut winner SHABAB AL AHLI was a close fourth in a hot novice at Newbury four weeks ago and can regain the winning thread.

Racing Post Pick
Shabab Al Ahli
Our Expert Tip

SHABAB AL AHLI really looked like he needed further last time out, just getting into full stride a bit too late. I expect him to improve massively for the extra two furlongs and even though he’s around 4/7, on paper he looks an absolute banker.
