In depth
Verdict
Mubahath is impeccably bred and is taken to score on his debut with his stable in top form he is held in high regard and he should win this before he goes on to better things. Saint Alebe has shown ability on both his starts he was a good fourth in a fair maiden at Newmarket last time out but that was with cut in the ground and it is debatable whether this faster ground will suit. African Sahara was a good second behind Chai Walla at Folkestone last time but this looks a better race. Mexican would have a chance on his best form but he has failed to progress from a very promising debut effort and he looks one of the most exposed in the field. Simon's Seat has also shown some ability on all his starts but he lacks scope and others are preferred. Well Chosen is well bred and the yards two year olds are beginning to find there form so he could go well at a fair price.
