Godolphin has won this four times in the last eight years and are represented by Wild Animal. He’s a son of Kingman and a half-brother to two winners, though a mile could be stretching his stamina a little. Anything that runs in the Hamdan Al Maktoum colours also warrants a second look, though there are four this year. Jim Crowley partners AL HADEER, a full brother to two winning milers in France. Owen Burrows and Dane O’Neill teamed up to land this prize last year and Damlaj also looks a nice prospect, even though he’ll probably thrive over further later in the year. Junooh is another who is much respected along with Desert Icon and Uae Jewel.
