Ryan Moore’s presence on Al Reeh will ensure the latter comes in for support and he has every chance on form having placed at Newmarket on last month’s debut. Dawoodi has shown ability in both starts so far and was narrowly beaten at Ripon last time but BATTERED gets the vote. Clear of the rest when third at York in July, the Haggas yard continues to fire-in the winners and also has an impressive strike rate at the track. Winning Return ran well at Leicester on her debut but the remainder with experience will do well to get involved and the newcomer Ekhtiyaar will need to be above average - though he is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner.
