Verdict

Saeed Bin Suroor is having a fine season with two-year-olds and his COLOUR IMAGE looked like having the measure of a Ballydoyle favourite on debut only for that rivals prior experience to prove decisive. That form is way above average and ranks him very much the one to beat here. The potential fly in the ointment is Fox Duty Free who caught many an eye on debut only to flop here subsequently. The form of his third at Newbury has worked out too well for that to be his true running. Twice placed El Naseri faces a stronger field here but he can again make the frame.
