Hoarding made an eye-catching debut behind Luhaif over the C&D a month ago under Saleem Golam so the fact that William Buick has elected to ride the stable's BRIGHT STRIKE has to be significant, especially as the latter has a couple of Group 2 entries. He's handed the vote in a race where the market is usually a good guide though William Haggas won this last year so Rhombus should be kept on the right side. Claim is related to five winners and is another to note but Richard Hannon's Emulating is bred for middle-distances. Godolphin have won this three times in recent years and though Blue Wave will improve for his run behind Luhaif the stable pick looks to be Timoneer. Ersaal is one to keep an eye on as he's by Dubawi out of a mare who was a winner over a mile as a juvenile.
