DAHAAM is our selection with Tom Wade and Argaum others to make the shortlist. The Derby entrant ran a solid enough race on debut at Warwick and with the combination of Frankie Dettori in the saddle and a high draw, the bookmakers will not be taking any chances. Tom Wade is a 90 000 guineas purchase. There is plenty of reason on breeding to believe that a mile will suit. Argaum is from a family that have had plenty of winners. A half-brother to Cutting Crew, the market is watched copiously for clues. The Love Guru is a full brother to sprinter, Ishibee, so expect to see him handy. Persona Non Grata is related to a number of European pattern race performers though has already had the unkindest cut of all. Get A Grip ran in a maiden at Newmarket that has not really worked out as anticipation. Nevertheless, the form was given a boost by the fifth horse on Friday as he was runner up in a similar event at headquarters. Highland Quaich has a fascinating pedigree. A son of Compton Place, the dam is a half-sister to sprinter, Jilly Why. Kings Realm may need this first outing while Dubai Phantom ran poorly on debut and is persisted with in blinkers. An obvious opportunity for Dahaam so we will not oppose.
