    In depth

    Verdict

    Several of these ran in the lucrative Red Sea Turf Handicap at Riyadh a month ago including Subjectivist, who was having his first start since an impressive victory in the 2021 Ascot Gold Cup. Charlie Johnston's charge attempted to make all but was headed in the straight and soon done with, though that will have blown the cobwebs away and he's clear top-rated. Enemy and Get Shirty occupied the places in Saudi Arabia with the former having won over 1m4f here earlier while Ebor winner Trawlerman is another who will have come on markedly for the run. Broome tries the trip for only the second time having finished last in the Champion Long Distance Cup at Ascot in 2020 but wouldn't be here without good reason. Quickthorn has no problems with the trip having won the Lonsdale Cup at York by 14 lengths but SISKANY had Ardakan two lengths behind in a Grade 3 here last month, quickening well in the straight for an impressive victory, and looks the one to beat.
