Race preview
BEDOUIN'S STORY was not disgraced in a pair of ultra-competitive mile handicaps on turf last month and the six-year-old could take plenty of stopping with his sights slightly lowered. Bless Him returns to handicap company for the first time in more than a year and he must not be underestimated. Red Mirage remains unexposed and should appreciate the return to a synthetic surface, while Jumaira Bay also makes the shortlist.
