This has all the hallmarks of a deep maiden, with marginal preference for CLOCKMAKER, who was no match for the ill-fated Chester Vase winner Hidden Law over this C&D but it was still a seriously-promising debut. Hosaamm's opening effort has been well advertised since and he's second choice, though Alnayef could be a totally different proposition this time.
