In depth
Verdict
Prima Summer had Rabdaan and Ra‘s Al Hadd behind at Jebel Ali three weeks ago but that did not look much of a race. James Doyle has his first ride of the campaign on BISMILAH ALIK, who was entered for the first race of the season earlier this month but withdrawn. He should be fit and ready and may prove best of his stable‘s four entries. Bhupat Seemar has been amongst the winners and Mendelssohn Bay has a speedy pedigree while Military Option is related to a winner on the Dirt at Woodbine. Velvet Cactus is likely to need further in time.
