Race preview
Ottoman Chief cost a hefty 2,200,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Ottoman Fleet. It would be no surprise to see him make an impact on debut, but the one who appeals most is AMIR LEHBAB. Andrew Balding's colt shaped with promise when a close-up third on his introduction at Newbury and could improve for this extra yardage. Any market support behind newcomer Arctic Force would be interesting.
