4.10 Lingfield Alhaban 2pt win 5/1 general
 
For some reason the so called experts that write in the trade press, feel that Alhaban was flattered in finishing close up behind Hinton Admiral last time.  It is my belief that he was actually unlucky not to win.  He had a troubled passage throughout the race, was forced wide around the final bend, and made rapid headway in the final furlong to put good distance between himself and the rest of the field.  
 
Alhaban has obviously proved an enigma for Ron Harris to work out.  He has been campaigned over a variety of trips, on different ground, sporting different headgear.  His 2 best pieces of form though since being with the yard have been at Lingfield over 7 furlongs,  although racing over 8 furlongs today, I believe that if he reproduces his last run he will win.
