Tathmeen beat previous course winner Al Asef when scoring over track and trip two weeks ago. He’d also won here back in April with MARTINEO (NAP) a length behind but the latter re-opposes on better terms today having raced over longer distances subsequently and John Butler’s charge may well reverse running. Alphonse Karr is a novice winner here and is fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time while Turanga Leela can do better back on this surface and is preferred to Cuban Breeze and Zamjar.
