Yaseer finished a well beaten second on his debut at Newbury in October but should have improved for that. He carries the first colours of Hamdan Al Maktoum here but preference goes to the owner's other runner, RASHEED. John Gosden's debutant is related to multiple winners including Alcalde who won over a mile on his first start. Silenzio should go well with Ryan Moore booked and Kieren Fallon gets the leg-up on School For Scandal who sets the standard. Ilissos is worth noting but Area Fifty One and Energizing look their stables second choices.
