SALLAAL beat only four rivals when scoring easily over the extended mile at Hamilton, but both the second and third have boosted that form subsequently. Pedigree suggests the son of Frankel will relish this extra distance and Roger Varian's charge looks on a potentially lenient mark now handicapping. Seraph Gabriel also steps up in trip, having finished second in a competitive contest at Sandown on his handicap bow, and he warrants serious consideration. Fast ground is an unknown for the French challenger Best Secret, with Ernst Blofeld, who also sports the Wathnan colours, preferred on his respectable fourth at Newbury last month. |
This scenario promises to suit QUAI DE BETHUNE and he may be the answer to this very open handicap. His latest third in a good handicap at Newbury was a fine effort on just his second start on grass and, with the in-form Oisin Murphy's presence in the saddle a notable plus in these big-field handicaps and a (likely) good-paced 1m2f likely to suit, may be the one. Seraph Gabriel promises to be suited by this step up to 10f and may be the main danger ahead of Aidan O'Brien's Roosevelt. Norwegian raider War Socks may be best of the rest. |

7l third in Listed race over 8f at Meydan before winning in Sweden (1m); hard to tie that form in with these but intriguing that very experienced Norwegian yard make rare foray here. |

SALLAAL beat only four rivals when scoring easily over the extended mile at Hamilton, but both the second and third have boosted that form subsequently. Pedigree suggests the son of Frankel will relish this extra distance and Roger Varian's charge looks on a potentially lenient mark now handicapping. Seraph Gabriel also steps up in trip, having finished second in a competitive contest at Sandown on his handicap bow, and he warrants serious consideration. Fast ground is an unknown for the French challenger Best Secret, with Ernst Blofeld, who also sports the Wathnan colours, preferred on his respectable fourth at Newbury last month. |
This scenario promises to suit QUAI DE BETHUNE and he may be the answer to this very open handicap. His latest third in a good handicap at Newbury was a fine effort on just his second start on grass and, with the in-form Oisin Murphy's presence in the saddle a notable plus in these big-field handicaps and a (likely) good-paced 1m2f likely to suit, may be the one. Seraph Gabriel promises to be suited by this step up to 10f and may be the main danger ahead of Aidan O'Brien's Roosevelt. Norwegian raider War Socks may be best of the rest. |

Won a novice at Carlisle over 9f last time; steadily progressive; unproven on fast ground; has shaped as if 10f will suit; respected. |
