The Hamdan Al Maktoum runners are interesting but haven't been helped by the draw unlike HUNTINGFORTREASURE who showed enough on debut to get the vote. He's a half-brother to a number of juvenile winners and he won't be long in adding his name to the honours board if he can build on last month's debut at Ayr. He made a more experienced rival pull out all the stops that day with the pair pulling clear of the field and the winner has gone on to land a nursery from a mark of 77. Tadhkeer didn't show anywhere near as much promise at Warwick but was well supported so merits a second look as does the newcomer Alsufooh who runs in the same colours. Onyx Of Arabia is drawn on the inside of that pair but his experience may help to negate the draw to some extent and he should be good enough to have a say in the outcome. A number of the field are open to improvement so can't be dismissed out of hand but Huntingfortreasure showed plenty of ability on debut and won't be easy to pass.
