Getaway is priced up on his performance in the Arc and possibly Fabre's record. However, came from rear in a strongly run race. All the principles came from well back. Essentially a stayer and may be flattered by that run. There is no absolute front runner in this field although some like to be in front or near it. Looks poor value at around 7/4, 15/8.

Sixties Icon ran well on reappearance in this race last season looking a potential top class horse. Then disappointed in subsequent races. Has had a breathing operation and if successful has a very good chance. Stable in excellent form and acts well on a sound surface.

Galactic Star is also from an in form yard (and adept at improving his older horses). Disappointed in the St Simon on good-soft final start last term, not looking an easy ride. Previously progressive and could continue that improvement. Seems good value today.

Gower Song was down the field on soft in a slowly run John Porter, returning from Dubai. That a race where nothing came from the back and probably unsuited by conditions. Seventh in the Sheema Classic (not much room) and won the City Of Gold before that (best run). Has more speed than most of these and acts well on a sound surface.

Malt Or Mash and Tranquil Tiger were also disappointing in the John Porter and are both expected to run much better here. The former is the more likely to improve, with more size about him than most of Hannons horses. Tranquil Tiger is from a stable in better form, well backed at Newbury so might be thought to have improved. Has at times shown temperament, not wanting to go to post once at Goodwood. Is a staying type who can front run.

Dragon Dancer placed in the Derby in his year but has a poor win / run ratio. Acts well on a firm surface. Can race prominently.

Yellowstone was a good horse for Aiden O'Brien but has been sold and not shown that form since. Not out of it if still capable.

Apparently Morrison is playing down Sakhee's Secret's chance today but he often does. Winner of his reappearance last term at this venue. Does have to give plenty of weight away to his rivals here and first run at 5f. Travels really well in his races and the trip should not be a problem. I believe he will be champion sprinter this year, built to and comes from a yard to improve this season. Best on this surface.

Zidane is another coming down in trip. Only just got up over the sharp 6f of Goodwood's Stewards Cup but also travels well at 6f. A rare first time up winner on reappearance this term and possibly has more improvement to come. Acts well on a firm surface.

Enticing has a little to find on the above two but has no doubt about having the speed for 5f. If anything barely stays 5f and the more conditions favour speed the better, held up. Also goes well fresh. Was over priced this morning.

Rowe Park is interesting, progressive last season for his small yard. If maintaining that improvement and fit, 20/1 could look generous. Similar remarks can be said about Judd Street.
