Verdict

AL SUHAIL is the highest rated of these having gone close in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes on the Rowley Mile last year with Ropey Guest back in third. The Godolphin colt will be sharper for last month’s outing in the 2000 Guineas and should have the edge over Mystery Power, who landed the Superlative Stakes over 7f at last year’s July meeting. Several are raised in class having shown plenty of promise in novice company including Newbury winner Lord Campari while Magical Morning has won both starts so far this year and Tilsit was a wide-margin winner when landing the odds at Newcastle. Separate and Emaraty Hero look up against it.
