Rated 82, Posted is the most exposed and may be worth taking on despite receiving plenty of weight from the older horses including Ghalyoon. The latter found a three-year-old too good when runner-up at Newmarket on his reappearance but a chance is taken on ZAHEE. The 200,000gns yearling makes a belated racecourse debut but must have shown some promise at home to be kept in training and Oisin Murphy partnered last year’s inaugural winner for Saeed bin Suroor. Pentimento is another newcomer to note while Soldier's Son showed some progress at Kempton last time.
