ABSURDE (2) is racing well, scoring two back at Plumpton before finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third last time over 2700m in the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester. Sure to go well. ALSAKIB (3) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 2790m in the G2 Yorkshire Cup at this track. Has never missed the frame when second-up. Among the leading chances. AL QAREEM (1) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 2700m in the G3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester, beaten 1.3 lengths. Clifford Lee is a key engagement. Beautifully placed and is sure to give an excellent account. EL CORDOBES (4) finished third last time out over 2400m at Newbury, beaten 3 lengths. Key player.
