Done Deal¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| C

7/1

33/1 when opening his account here on debut (1m). Next run may have come too soon and he is in calmer waters here. Being by Azamour the shorter trip is a worry.

Form: 16

Margub²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| CD

1/3

Bated Breath colt, cost £30,000 as a yearling. Dam a Listed sprint winner and plenty of speed in his pedigree. Delivered in style when heavily backed over C&D but the runner-up has been slammed since.

Form: 5-1

(4)

Subjectivity²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

50/1

Half-brother to four winners but has done little in either start and he will be more at home in handicaps after this.

Form: 5-6

(6)

Emphatic¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Mackay| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 71

6/1

Shaped well from a poor draw at Wolverhampton but he is beginning to look exposed and it is doubtful the improvement required is there to be found.

Form: 032-25

(5)

Ghalyoon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

5/1

300,000 gns half-brother to Swiss Spirit and closely related to other useful types. The market should be informative, although the owner's jockey has made his opinion clear by opting for Margub.

Rewaayat³¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills

8/1

Pivotal colt, dam a 7f winner and half-sister to Group 1 winner Muhaarar and two-year-old 6f Listed winner Sajwah. Held multiple Group entries as a juvenile but looks the owner's third string in this.

Form: 9-

(2)

Eternal Destiny⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: Rae Guest

50/1

Gets a trip more in line with her pedigree, but she has plenty to find on form and will make more appeal when sent handicapping.

Form: 65

Minoria

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: Rae Guest

25/1

Home-bred Harbour Watch filly and half-sister to four winners. They include useful sprinter Minalisa who scored on debut for this trainer.

Forecasts

Margub (1/3), Ghalyoon (5/1), Emphatic (6/1), Done Deal (7/1), Rewaayat (8/1), Minoria (25/1), Distant Applause (25/1), Subjectivity (50/1), Eternal Destiny (50/1)

Hamdan Al-Maktoum has three in this and it may pay to side with his retained rider Jim Crowley who opts for recent C&D winner MARGUB ahead of the choicely bred debutant Ghalyoon and Rewaayat. Minoria is an interesting newcomer from a good family, whilst it would be no surprise if Done Deal showed his latest run was all wrong.
