Majd Al Arab was only headed close home dropped to this trip at Newmarket and Ryan Moore takes over the reins on the Johnston colt, who will be looking to make it third-time lucky. ALKUMAIT was running on strongly at Newbury once the penny dropped, however, and he’ll be more the finished article here. Jim Crowley prefers him to Tawleed and Tistaahal. Imperial Dawn is also a possible improver and newcomers to note include Riffaa Wonder and Skibo Castle.
