Production sets the standard in this on his debut victory at the track in July though the stable also run Fox Power, who has started favourite in both runs to date. Double Kodiac was tried in a Group 3 at Deauville after winning at Maisons-Lafitte but finished last and makes his UK debut under a penalty. Sheila's Showcase dead-heated over this trip at Newbury but the third has been beaten since and he also carries 6lb extra. Al Fajir Mukbile is a consistent sort but it’s hard to imagine he’ll beat less-exposed types. Karnavaal and MAGIC ILLUSION are both by Dubawi and the latter makes most appeal among the newcomers. He’s a full brother to a 5f winner but is also closely related to Godolphin’s Group 3-winning miler Gold Town, who made a winning debut as a juvenile. Dewhurst entry Repaupo is an American-bred related to a host of smart performers and jockey bookings suggest he’ll be the best of the Gosden runners. Turjomaan is a half-brother to three winners but has no fancy entries as yet.
