In depth
Verdict
Bhupat Seemar has three entries with Tadhg O'Shea on board Rayig, who had been running consistently before scoring at Jebel Ali last week. He's been raised 4lb but should still take care of runner-up Ayaad, who led until inside the final furlong. STUNNING BEAUTY came here last year and ran in Group 2 company. She's not that class but has won three times in the UK for Godolphin and could be good enough. Doug Watson has three entries and Mcmanaman, a winner here back in 2021, looks the stable pick despite a disappointing run at Jebel Ali. Harvest Gold had shown virtually nothing before a much-improved run over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago.
