Did not settle when beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 6f, he is not the most convincing in a finish but his form is fairly consistent.

Verdict
Having justified favouritism on his handicap bow at Southwell last month, there should be more to come from AL NAJASHI. Ollie Sangster's colt scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 6lb higher mark is surmountable and he's taken to fend off Thankfully Simmy. The son of Mehmas has performed with credit in three novice events to date and an opening mark of 65 looks workable. Mister Moet is the pick of the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
Al Najashi showed improved form to get off the mark in a first-time tongue-tie at Southwell on his recent handicap debut, being ridden positively and finding plenty. It might be harder to pull those tactics off at this venue, though, and as such it may be worth taking a chance on handicap debutant MARRA DONNA, who looks fairly treated on the form of his second start at Chelmsford. He's been gelded since and was too keen over 7f last time. Euphonia was a bit better than the result at Lingfield last time and is next on the list.
