Shahbaz posted a first win for the yard when scoring over 10f at Chelmsford under Billy Loughnane.
Held up off a modest early pace, Billy was happy to wait until the home turn to get involved in the race.
Switching the grey to the middle of the track after 2f out, he got serious a furlong down and despite drifting left under pressure he was always doing enough in the final 50 yards.
