Sir Busker goes well here and placed in the Queen Anne Stakes last month. He can figure again and confirm running with Top Rank, who was subsequently beaten by Century Dream in a Listed race at Windsor. The latter had the measure of Regal Reality when winning last season’s Celebration Mile at Goodwood but there looks more to come from TILSIT (NAP) this year. Charlie Hills’ colt just missed out in the Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan at Longchamp last time and this drop back down in trip can see him go one better. Al Suhail placed in the Jebel Hatta at Meydan back in March and makes more appeal than the Lincoln winner Haqeeqy of the remainder.
