TABDEED was only beaten a neck in a Group 3 sprint at Newbury last month. He had the measure of Royal Crusade on that occasion having earlier finished in front of Khaadem at Newcastle and another bold bid is expected from Owen Burrows’ charge in this. Chiefofchiefs ran well in the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood when well ahead of Summerghand while Royal Scimitar placed in the Shergar Cup Sprint at Ascot and is preferred to Newmarket winner Adaay To Remember at this level. Extrodinair is upped in class having rattled up a hat-trick over longer trips.
