In depth
Verdict
Alqalsar made an encouraging debut on fast going at Newbury and stepped up on that in soft ground at the same track. He can improve again while Alwahsh appeared to find 1m2f stretching his stamina at Wetherby after being headed on the line over this trip at Yarmouth. Khataaf should do better than his opening run at Yarmouth but this can go to a newcomer and ARABIC CULTURE fits the bill. The Godolphin colt is the fifth foal of a mare who has already produced three winners and won over this trip herself. Sukoot is another first-timer to watch out for in the market.
