Al Aasy

Eight-time Group 3 winner who remains close to his best. Sets a clear standard on class and consistency.

Mixed profile last season but includes two Group 2 wins. High-class on his day.

Progressive last season but needs further improvement to match leading contenders.

No runners make little appeal at this level, though several need career-best efforts.
