Verdict
Van Gogh won a maiden at the Curragh last time having placed in a Group 2 earlier while One Ruler and stablemate Dhahabi have both placed over 7f in Listed company and the former had earlier beaten Maximal at Sandown. Qaader finished third in a Group 3 here recently with Albadri behind but Jim Crowley prefers the chances of AKMAAM. The latter made a winning debut in a novices' race at Ascot when giving the impression this longer trip would suit and Brian Meehan’s colt gets the vote.
