Race preview
The form of HAPPY POWER's third behind Space Blues (first) and Safe Voyage (second) in the Listed Spring Trophy here looks rock solid considering the front two's subsequent exploits and Andrew Balding's four-year-old gets the nod following a respectable third in the Group 3 Criterion Stakes last time. Snazzy Jazzy was only a neck behind the selection when fourth in the aforementioned track encounter and returned to this venue to go down by just a neck over 6f recently. Course-and-distance winner D'bai leads a strong Godolphin challenge on the back of a fine second in a Longchamp Group 3, with stablemate Mubtasim and Saeed bin Suroor's Final Song also noted. The latter of real interest if conditions aren't too testing.
