The highly anticipated Spring Trials weekend kicks off at Newbury, featuring a thrilling lineup of races, including the Darley EBF Novice Stakes. Charlie Appleby's Shabab Al Ahli, a Frankel colt, is set to take on Sahara King in the day's feature event.

Meanwhile, Sahara King, a promising young horse, will be seeking to make a statement after a winning debut at Wolverhampton. Other notable contenders include My Love Is King, trained by Gosden, who holds a Derby entry, and the classy Gilded Prize, who will be vying for top honors in the Henri Matisse Coolmore Prix Cleopatre.
