Verdict
Bryan Smart's Mr Emirati ran well on his only start as a juvenile when keeping on at the one pace behind Corsica at Ayr and he has to be considered on his first outing as a three-year-old but Saeed Bin Suroor's MUREB is the clear form pick and looks the one to beat with the main threat rated as Bursary. Mark Johnston's colt ran well on his debut at Nottingham in May and is surely better than he showed when eased down inside the final furlong at Newmarket later that month on his only subsequent start. Richard Fahey's Fantastic Light filly Broadway Dancer is probably the most interesting newcomer in the field, although it will be interesting to see how the market shapes up for Tom Dascombe's Kyllachy gelding March Forth. Jeremy Noseda's Squall was well held at Newmarket on his most recent start but has claims on earlier form there and at Goodwood, although more solid claims are held by the selection, Mureb. Saeed Bin Suroor's colt ran promisingly on his only start at two and, although turned over when odds on for his reappearance at Goodwood, he probably met defeat behind a useful type in Hear The Roar and looks worth backing to go one better today.
