Sadiq had some decent form for Godolphin last year but over much further. Al Razi gained his sixth all-weather victory when beating Brazen, who runs earlier, over 6f two weeks ago. He has an obvious chance bur DAIRAM looks the one to be on. A winner at Beverley for Charles Hills, he was only headed in the closing stages over a mile here at the beginning of the month and will be unfortunate to get caught again from this mark. Touch Gold was only just behind him on that latter occasion as he set the early pace and will also be suited by dropping in trip.
