Verdict
Edaara makes plenty of appeal on these terms and is just preferred over Turkish Sultan and the well-bred Pikaboo. It would also be noteworthy if any support arrives for Wind Shuffle now that he reverts to the Flat, as he has shown ability in a couple of outings over this trip and is no forlorn hope for a place if he handles the ground. Pikaboo made a satisfactory debut at Windsor in August and can be expected to be a lot sharper this time. With Ryan Moore doing the steering she is sure to be a popular choice in the betting and the daughter of Pivotal will be dangerous to rule out. Turkish Sultan has proven form with a bit of give underfoot and has to be respected at this level. The fact that he has finished second on four separate occasions does raise a question about his resolution though and he needs everything to go his way today. Nevertheless, the Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned Edaara looks a likely type for a race of this nature and she is fancied to easily cope with what is effectively an ease in grade for her this afternoon.
