Verdict

Oval Office has had her share of problems but appears capable of making up for lost time judged on a smooth debut success at Goodwood last month. Henry Cecil's charge displayed a pleasing turn of acceleration to score with plenty in hand and should follow up in a weak contest. The heavily penalised Al Moughazel was disappointing last time when failing to last home over ten furlongs but rates the main danger if able to reproduce a close second behind Welenska over a mile on his seasonal return at Doncaster.
