Asfoora beat Regional (second) when taking this contest last year with Believing back in fourth. The latter has improved subsequently and arrives on the back of a victory in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in April. George Boughey's mare will be hard to keep out of the frame, but NIGHT RAIDER also drops back to the minimum trip with strong claims. The son of Dark Angel has bags of early pace and made all to win a Listed contest over 6f at Newcastle last term. A respectable third in the 1895 Duke Of York on his reappearance, this stiff 5f will suit the four-year-old. The Temple Stakes winner Mgheera is another to consider . |
Asfoora took this contest in 2024 appreciating the stiff track at the trip and has proved she retains her ability this term with a Group victory in Australia. However, she massively showed the benefit of a prep run on these shores last year and the lack of it this time is a big concern. Both Regional and BELIEVING were not beaten far behind here and have the potential to reverse that form here. Both are strong stayers at the trip so will appreciate the likely fast pace with plenty of it drawn around the latter which should give her a nice tow into the race. If getting it she can pounce late and follow up on his deserved Group 1 victory in the Al Quoz last time. Though drawn on the other side away from most of the pace Starlust is another who is likely to be flying home at the finish and the Breeders' Cup winner holds solid each way claims on favourable fast ground. |

Asfoora beat Regional (second) when taking this contest last year with Believing back in fourth. The latter has improved subsequently and arrives on the back of a victory in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan in April. George Boughey's mare will be hard to keep out of the frame, but NIGHT RAIDER also drops back to the minimum trip with strong claims. The son of Dark Angel has bags of early pace and made all to win a Listed contest over 6f at Newcastle last term. A respectable third in the 1895 Duke Of York on his reappearance, this stiff 5f will suit the four-year-old. The Temple Stakes winner Mgheera is another to consider . |
Asfoora took this contest in 2024 appreciating the stiff track at the trip and has proved she retains her ability this term with a Group victory in Australia. However, she massively showed the benefit of a prep run on these shores last year and the lack of it this time is a big concern. Both Regional and BELIEVING were not beaten far behind here and have the potential to reverse that form here. Both are strong stayers at the trip so will appreciate the likely fast pace with plenty of it drawn around the latter which should give her a nice tow into the race. If getting it she can pounce late and follow up on his deserved Group 1 victory in the Al Quoz last time. Though drawn on the other side away from most of the pace Starlust is another who is likely to be flying home at the finish and the Breeders' Cup winner holds solid each way claims on favourable fast ground. |
