This is wide-open. Bnedel will likely have improved from his debut third over track and trip while Sugar Boy and Swaheen are others to note despite the latter disappointing at Newcastle last time. Thawraat made only a modest start at Doncaster and a speculative vote goes to stablemate and newcomer GLORIOUS DUBAI. The latter is a brother to the high-class Manduro and a half-brother to four others winners. The 140,000gns purchase Dark Swan and Waaleef are other debutants to note.
