Saeed bin Suroor has an impressive strike rate here and novice winner BEDOUIN’S STORY is likely to prove a popular choice. He was placed over a mile at Newmarket on his handicap debut and drops back down to his winning distance today. Admiral Rooke has only found one too good on his last couple of outings over a mile here while Fard was runner-up over 6f last time and Red Cymbal drops in class having struggled at York. Battle Commence is a novice winner over 6f while Scenic River and Muraadef posted better efforts last time.
