AL HUDAIBA (9.0) is the best horse in the race today and with blinkers in action for the first time, further improvement looks almost nailed on.

A flighty two-year-old who has won three of his four starts and considering his sole loss came from his own quirkiness when jinking in the final furlong to unseat Tom Marquand, first-time blinkers should settle him down.

A proven Group 2 winner after winning the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket earlier this month and considering his market rival Haffner isn’t proven in group company, Al Hudaiba looks a cracking horse for Charlie Appleby and the first-time blinkers could see a massive improvement from him today.

A rematch with Scandinavia today, TRAWLERMAN (9.6) is looking to reverse the placings from the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and with a recent run now under his belt, he is bound to come on from this.

Winning four of his last five appearances before being headed by Scandinavia in the final strides, this was Trawlerman’s first run in eight months and given his performance, he’s back and looks set to reverse the placings.

Dominating staying races last season, if he opts to make all the running and turn this into a real stamina test, this is where Trawlerman produces his best and considering he didn’t look far from his best after an eight-month absence in the Gold Cup, he’s match fit and ready to turn the tables today.
