FormscanBy Gary Carson - ALHAAZM looks capable of landing a nice handicap on the turf. The full-brother to Awtaad has really blossomed since joining Kevin Prendergast and reeled off four wins on the all-weather at Dundalk. He is only a pound higher now than when scoring in April and was probably value for a bit more than his winning margin of a head then over seven furlongs, which looked on the short side. Hale Bopp got a 12lb hike for his win at Cork last month but on only his fifth career outing there looks scope for more improvement from the Belardo colt. He beat Overheer in good style last time and that rival has gone on to score twice since so the form looks very strong. Rebel Step has been keeping good company and back in a handicap should be competitive off this kind of mark. He looks to have place claims.
