Verdict

John Gosden won this in 2007 with none other than the brilliant Raven's Pass but Mowhoob doesn't look in that grade after his third at Kempton and a couple of these could improve past him. Disclaimer is one of those as he'll have come on for his debut at Newmarket though breeding suggests longer trips will bring out the best in him. Preference goes to MAKAFEH who raced a bit keen on his debut at Headquarters but the 190,000gns Elusive Quality colt should settle better today and could prove good enough. Persian Wave showed some promise on his introduction at Sandown while any interest in Lamusawama and Hazzaat on their debuts should be noted.
