Al Maslool

The encouraging sign is that Al Maslool has raced recently and stayed in training, which means the yard believes there is more to come. Recent form shows a mix of results: a fourth-place finish most recently (1 day ago), then a win, then a third, a second, eleventh, and fifth across the last six outings. That win at Chester two weeks ago proved the horse can get the job done, at least at that track, so there is genuine form on the CV rather than mere hope. Haggas, a top Newmarket trainer with 170 winners sent out this season alone, has the resources and expertise to find the right race for this horse — the question is whether Al Maslool has the talent to make another breakthrough before the season shifts focus elsewhere.
