Looked an unlikely winner for the first 4.5f of his Chepstow debut (6f, good to soft) but the penny dropped in the closing stages and he ultimately ran out a decisive winner; the bare form is nothing special and he will need more to defy a penalty but he is open to improvement.

SR 63 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Smart pedigree but in need of the experience when down the field in a 6f maiden at Newbury last month (good ground; 12-1); this looks less demanding and he is open to improvement.

85,000euros foal; second foal; by Minzaal; dam French Listed-placed 7.5f-8.5f winner (including 2yo/AW; RPR 93), sister to useful French 1m-1m4f winner Anobe; betting should be revealing for a stable in fine form.

Left trailing over 1f out on his Salisbury debut (5f, good) 24 days ago, dropping out to finish last of the six runners (Oakford a neck and one position ahead in fifth); can do better and 6f should suit.

My A'Ali Baba (SR 63) is the clear ratings leader in a weak novice field, holding a significant SR advantage over the next-best trio (SR 52) and carrying only 4lb more than them at 9-8. Critically, the form figure '1' confirms a winning debut, meaning this horse already knows how to win — the strongest possible evidence in a field of maidens and once-raced also-rans. David Evans is a capable juvenile handler, and the soft going at Goodwood does not fundamentally disadvantage a winner-on-debut who has already shown ability. The SR edge of 11 points over the closest rivals is material when the field ceiling is this low, and a proven winner should dominate debutants and a horse that finished ninth (Asgar).
Each-way alternative: Bulletsnap.
Main danger: Bulletsnap — William Haggas regularly produces well-prepared debutants capable of winning first time out, and an unexposed Haggas juvenile on soft ground at Goodwood cannot be dismissed despite the lack of a form line.
