Mill Reef favourite Dhabab in good shape for weekend return at Newbury

Dhabab
John and Thady Gosden

Although 40mm of rain had hit the region the previous day, most trainers stuck to the all-weather facilities on Wednesday morning including this juvenile, who looked in super form for his return from a break in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

Breezing six furlongs on the Al Bahathri under Ben De Paiva, the son of No Nay Never's previous outing behind Native Trail in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket could not have worked out any better.
