Verdict

This track poses a question for the quirky but seriously talented AL HUDAIBA but headgear ought to help his cause and already a winner in Grade 2 company, he can defy the 3 lb penalty. Pikachu was third to the selection in the aforementioned Newmarket race and he's the chief threat on form, though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Haffner

1	Has a few quirks (jinked and unseated rider when looking in control on second start) but has lots of ability and he overcame hanging under pressure to edge out Abraham Lincoln in Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket (7f) 17 days ago. Blinkers may just help him and major claims despite 3 lb penalty. 1st Pick 1 Al Hudaiba Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	40%	6/4

3	Justify colt who confirmed debut promise when justifying short-priced favouritism in a maiden at the recent Newmarket July meeting. Smart prospect who is sure to leave bare form well behind. 2nd Pick 3 Haffner (Usa) Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: Ryan Moore T: Aidan O'brien, Ireland	88	-	-	-	34%	2/1

4	Has improved with each start, posting a very useful performance when 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Al Hudaiba in Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. 3 lb better off with that rival but arguably doesn't have same potential. 3rd Pick 4 Pikachu Jockey: David Egan Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: David Egan T: Charlie Johnston	99	-	-	-	11%	17/2
