The well-bred WAHRAAN was twice narrowly beaten by Lord Protector in the spring and will probably start a short price here though the winner was beaten in a Salisbury handicap next time. However, the lack of credible opposition suggests he should get off the mark. Alkhattaaf was well supported at Goodwood but ran very green and has been gelded while Pennymoor, a son of Frankel who cost 450,000gns and is also owned by Godolphin, was beaten a long way at Windsor. Pirouette Queen found softish ground to her liking when fourth at Salisbury so further rain would put her in the picture.
