Verdict
AMBIENTE FRIENDLY largely performed with great credit in the highest company last term and is fancied to make a winning return now under the expert tutelage of James Owen with this drop in trip also likely to suit this strong-travelling type. Ottoman Fleet rates a big threat though in his bid to land a hat-trick in this event, with Persica and First Conquest not totally discounted either.

VerdictThis smart gelding is a 4-time course winner and has captured the past two runnings of this. Arrives on the back of two solid efforts in Meydan so another bold showing is on the cards. - 2. Ambiente FriendlyJ: Hector CrouchT: James OwenF: 13/412305-

VerdictVery smart 3-y-o who was placed in the Derby at Epsom and Irish Derby at the Curragh in 2024 for James Fanshawe. Starts out for excellent new yard here and this strong traveller holds leading form claims back in trip. - 6. PersicaJ: Ryan MooreT: Richard HannonF: 4101318-3
