Jim Crowley had three choices here as Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's retained jockey and plumped for MANTHOOR. This colt ran an excellent race on return latest at Chelmsford when worn down late over 1m. A drop to 7f should suit well and his trainer is now in flying form having had issues with his string in the Summer so he could very easily be well handicapped ads many are proving now the yard are back to form. Game Player is on a hat-trick and clearly an improving horse late in his three-year-old year while Kachumba has progressed well all season.
