Alqamar (10/11), Gawdawpalin (9/2), Niblawi (9/2), Star Of The East (5/1), Great Hall (9/1), Roar (9/1), Mutadaffeq (25/1), Poyle Thomas (50/1)
Great Hall, Gawdawpalin and Niblawi clashed here in a tactical race on Shergar Cup day when the former got first run on his rivals. On these terms and in what ought to be a more truly run affair, a different outcome has to be considered a real possibility. ALQAMAR showed some decent form last year and accordingly made short work of his rivals on his handicap debut. A fair run in the Queen's Vase leaves him on a viable mark and the rider's record for the stable suggests he is worth following.
- Alqamar
- Niblawi
