After making all over this trip in the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial, Rawy pulled much too hard and was done with when tackling a mile in the classic. He had earlier finished almost two lengths behind SADAATY over 6f at Jebel Ali and the winner also finished in front of him in the Guineas. Summer Is Tomorrow beat Rawy over four lengths over 6f in December but hasn't made the expected progress. Home City has been running reasonably well in carnival events on Turf and has won at Chelmsford but Taking Names has been very disappointing since a very impressive debut.
