Emirates Flyer boasts the highest mark of those with an official rating having won a conditions race at Newmarket a fortnight ago. But Mickael Barzalona complicates matters by partnering stablemate Safety Check instead and presumably that's a pointer to the latter who won a match at odds of 1/25 last time. WASHAAR makes more appeal than both of the Godolphin charges as he finished third in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes at the Newmarket July meeting with Street Force a couple of lengths behind. The Hannon colt looks capable of landing this with further progress on the cards. Dubawi Fun will find this easier than when well beaten in the Coventry here last time and looks best of the remainder.
