Lord Glitters hasn’t won in this country since landing the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot in 2019 and the galloping grey is penalised for winning a Group 2 at Meydan earlier this year. Addeybb is a high-class performer over this trip but all of his wins have come on ground with some give and conditions are unlikely to be in his favour this evening. Bay Bridge did nothing but improve last season and there may well be more to come this year but this is a significant step up in grade and MOSTAHDAF is 3-3 around here after easily landing the odds in the Gordon Richards over track and trip on his reappearance.
