Formscan - Albasheer sat at the head of the Ayr Gold Cup market so it is interesting he has been diverted here. Last week's Portland effort was a cracker given his big weight and poor passage through the race, and he was just denied by Democracy Dilemma in the Beverley Bullet prior to that. However, in ANNAF, he comes up against a rival rated 9lb higher who can atone for a Haydock Sprint Cup run where nothing really went right. Relief Rally has been off since beating Adaay In Devon to second in the Carnarvon here, but is a high-class filly if ready to roll.
