ALIBABA DU NIL (4) returns after 8 months away and now joins the Eric Lemartinel stable. He finished fourth over 2100m at Toulouse in his only start that prep, and he is fresh up over a middle distance, which suggests he is very fit. On top for us. FA'ALEH (6) resumes after 6-and-a-half months off the scene, having finished fourth over 2200m at this track last time out. The top combination of Lemartinel, and O'Shea, makes him firmly in contention. AF MUKHAWWAL (1) showed enough on debut over 2200m here on April 11, finishing fifth. That experience should prove valuable and puts him in the mix for a top-4 finish fresh up. TAROUK DU LOUP (11) was edging closer to a maiden win before his spell, signing off with a placing at this track. He is sure to be ready to run a big race fresh.
