        Verdict

        Alkhalifa cost 110,000gns and is a half-brother to three winners. Jim Crowley has chosen him ahead of Warsaan, who is a brother to winning miler Kestrel Dot Com, but BHODI, by Dark Angel and the first foal of a winner in France, may have more speed than the Hamdan Al Maktoum runners. He is also preferred to Ocean Side, possibly the pick of the Hannon duo on breeding ahead of Oliver Reed. Chepstow runner-up Frostbite looks the best of those with experience.
