The usual comments about watching the market applies and we are with BRENTHURST at the principal expense of Bab Al Salam and Tafool. Brenthurst ran a respectable enough introduction at Newmarket and on that evidence, there was plenty to like in terms of likely progress. As ever, the market will confirm as to how much there has been. Godolphin's Bab Al Salam has a strong American dirt pedigree. The presence of Dettori is a positive. Tafool is bred to be better over further next season. His trainer isn't having the strongest year for juveniles with an 11% strike rate. Golden Flight gave the impression that he will come on greatly for his first experience. Charlotte Point's trainer has endured a significant amount of success in this sphere so don't be too surprised to see the form of her Nottingham run left well behind. Rainbow Seeker and Speed Dating qualify for handicaps beyond this race. Brenthurst can bag the opener.
