Ennaadd is clear of the field on these terms having won his last four outings on the all-weather. Entered in next month’s Lockinge, he looks the one to beat, but his price is likely to reflect that fact and a sporting selection goes to the French challenger QURBAAN. Francois Rohaut’s colt continues to improve and won Listed races on the all-weather tracks at Cagnes-Sur-Mer and Deauville over the winter. He beat Sovereign Debt, rated 110, at the latter course and Ruth Carr’s new charge ran well at Kempton last time. Ryan Moore takes over on Salateen, who narrowly beat Keystroke in a Listed race at Wolverhampton last month with a below par My Target behind while Nimr disappointed back on the Turf at Doncaster recently. The latter's former stablemate Donjuan Triumphant has recently joined Andrew Balding and attempts a mile for the first time having finished third to Alfred Hutchinson over 7f here in November.
