Paul Hanagan was on the wrong one when TABARRAK finished second to the same owners Thikriyaat at Newmarket last month. But the Hannon colt looks to have every chance of going one better in this and makes most appeal of his yards three runners. Mark Johnston also runs three in the same ownership with Adventurous preferred to Turbine and Whitman while Comicas was runner-up to another Godolphin runner in Listed company at Meydan in March. Twin Sails had some smart form last year including a close-up fourth in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and is worth a second glance handicapping for the first time on his reappearance.
