Cloudbridge, narrowly beaten in a Kempton Group 3 in September 2020, finished last on his only subsequent start in May but wasn't right and has joined Doug Watson. El Patriota, a Listed winner in Brazil, made a winning debut here last January and wasn't disgraced in better company later. AL NEFUD produced three placed efforts on all-weather tracks for Godolphin before joining the Seemar operation and made most for a very impressive victory over a previous winner on his debut here. He looks best of his stable's entries and can also take care of Desert Wisdom, another Godolphin cast-off, who won with a bit in hand at Jebel Ali two weeks ago.
