Verdict
Makkaar has the advantage of racecourse experience with a couple of placed efforts under his belt. He’s preferred to Hamdan Al Maktoum’s other runner Ejaaby but it’s notable that Dane O’Neill partners LOUJAIN, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and owned by Hamdan Al Maktoum’s daughter - the Gosden newcomer gets a speculative vote to make a winning start. Top Mission is related to a couple of winners and both Screaming Gemini and Daimochi are out of prolific dams with the latter costing 220,000 euros as a yearling.
