Rated 78, Fashaak looks to have leading claims on his fifth in a valuable Tattersalls Millions race at Newmarket last year for Al Shaqab. But it's interesting that Frankie rides DOMMERSEN, despite the latter finishing well beaten on his racecourse debut at Headquarters in October. A chance is taken on the Gosden colt showing a big improvement on his reappearance. The newcomer Musdam cost 230,000gns as a two-year-old and makes his racecourse debut for Sir Michael Stoute while Banish is another newcomer to note in the betting.
