      In depth

      Verdict

      El Habeeb has been optimistically campaigned but never figured in a Listed race at Newmarket or the Derby last time. He may prove good enough at this level but AIMERIC looks a safer proposition on his fourth at Newmarket back in May given four of the seven runners have subsequently won. The older horses are conceding weight with Lutrell Lad the best of them over hurdles and finishing fourth at Doncaster on his debut on the Flat.
