One of the eight newcomers in the field could get their career off to a profitable start and chief among them is the Muhammad Aldaham-ridden and Thamer Aldaihani-trained Ak’haal (IRE), who makes his debut for owner Sheikh Abdullah Homoud Al-Malek Al-Sabah.
Form is thin on the ground, but four of those who have raced clashed in the same event two weeks ago with Salman Al-Adhayani’s Alaghr (USA) to be ridden by Abdullah Al-Fairouz, and Prince Faisal bin Khaled bin Abdulaziz-owned and Alexis Moreno-ridden Newtown Runner (USA) finishing second and third respectively.
The other main event on Saturday is the 1400m Arabian Mares contest with last season’s Riyadh success story Lacy Des Vialettes (FR) back out for her third run of the campaign.
