Verdict
Some top trainers represented in this juvenile maiden with only Kharish having any worthwhile form, so we will take a chance on the newcomer Oude, with Eltizaam and Shannon Springs two others to bear in mind. Oude hails from the powerful Saeed Bin Suroor yard and is the choice of stable jockey Frankie Dettori in preference to Dahman. He is the son of the top class Dubai Millennium, who's progeny have already been a hit for the stable this season, and he can go in at the first time of asking. Eltizaam is a half brother to the superb Harayir and so should be perfectly suited by this seven furlong trip. Shannon Springs is a son of Darshaan who has been sending out decent vibes from the gallops. As we mentioned Kharish is the form horse here having finished a promising fourth behind Cape Greko at Ascot on his debut, he should be thereabouts again, but Godolphin have such a strong hand of two-year-old's we will have to plump for Oude.
