Verdict
There is next to no form for backers to go on here with only two of the 19 declared runners having raced previously and what can only be a tentative vote goes to Bourse, who is marginally preferred to Alwaabel and Unnefer. The last mentioned represents the yard of Henry Cecil that has been in good form this season and takes the eye on pedigree being a son of Danehill Dancer out of a dam related to Derby winner Kris Kin. A market move for Flash of Fire would be of interest, while Paul Cole's Luck Money may need more time as most of the yard's runners have tended to need their first start of the season. Peter Chapple-Hyam has his juveniles in fine form so it would come as no surprise to see Orientalist Art take part in the finish, while Jeremy Noseda's Pride of India should relish the ground and comes from a yard that can ready a juvenile for their first start. John Dunlop's Alwaabel has a decent pedigree and has to be respected but marginal preference is for John Gosden's Bourse. The son of Dubai Destination is out of a half-sister to Quito and could easily be good enough to take this on his debut.
