Verdict
WAADY won a decent conditions race at Leicester before finding higher-rated horses too good when fourth in a Group 3 at Newbury last time. John Gosden’s charge still finished ahead of veteran sprinter Mirza and Just Glamorous on that occasion and is also preferred to Kyllang Rock. The latter came up short in a Group 3 race in France last time but Sir Robert Cheval went close in the Shergar Cup Dash over 6f here in August. Mister Trader travels over from Ireland but has struggled since finishing runner-up to Caravaggio at the Curragh last year.
