Verdict
ESTIDRAAK, a son of Iffraaj and a half-brother to the useful Elhaame, is the main reason Paul Hanagan is at Wolverhampton this evening. Sir Michael Stoute's colt should make a decent three-year-old and may have too much class for these. Arize sets the standard on his third over track and trip 11 days ago, though there should be more to come from Nottingham fourth Like No Other and the Godolphin runners Sabato and Pictograph. A market move for either Silk Gem or Khameela would be significant given connections.
