Verdict
Sunset Breeze may prove best of those with experience having debuted at Southwell last month and is upped in trip along with Abnaa. The latter shares ownership with both Daysaq and ABWAAQ with the latter preferred. He’s from a family of Graded winners in North America and Simon Crisford’s yard won this with a newcomer last year. Emirates Currency can include a Listed winner among his winning relatives while San Rafael and Bold Suitor are also half-brothers to winners and worth a second glance.
