Ali Al Rayhi has a very strong hand here with Mutahaddith and Estidraak, who fought out a finish here last month with the former making most of the running and staying on well. However, Tadhg O'Shea, who rode him, has chosen the runner-up this time so the hint should be taken and the form can be reversed. RAVEN'S CORNER, a winner at Doncaster for John Gosden, just failed on his debut here before making all for a very impressive victory over King Cole, who runs earlier. There's more to come from him and this looks within his capabilities. Raafid, a dual winner in France, has run in much better company in his two starts here without showing much.
