Al Shabab Storm

Selected at: 10/3

Mick Appleby’s Al Shabab Storm is a two-time winner on soft ground and that definitely bodes well for his chances here. The son of Advertise landed a German Group 3 a couple of years ago for previous connections and his recent form suggests he won’t be far away here.
