went left start, chased leaders, effort over 2f out, soon hung left and no impression
Al Namir was placed over 7f at Yarmouth on his debut. He should be in the mix again and Dane O’Neill prefers him to the newcomer Atheeb. Electrical Storm has found one too good over the minimum trip on the Rowley course here in both starts so far and looks sure to figure over this extra distance but another Godolphin colt in KING’S COMMAND is preferred. Charlie Appleby sent out newcomer and subsequent Group 1 winner Quorto to win last year’s renewal and this year’s representative has an entry in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes in Ireland later in the season.
