Al Rashidya at Meydan Friday

This G2 over 1800m Turf is the feature.

It may well turn out to be another "made in Godolphin" night as the Appleby Yard has Ottoman Fleet on 10/11 with Buick the jockey and Valiant Prince 11/2 with James Doyle.

However we are going a bit wider here and going for San Donato on 6/1 for Doug Watson and Pat Dobbs.

There is also the 2000 Guineas trial with 7 runners with the top two in the market being Brazilian bred and having raced mostly in Uruguay – Loreley 2/1 for Ricardo Colombo who has Hector Lazo riding – Brazilian son of Kentuckian, and 4/1 Es-Unico, also Brazlian bred by War Secretary who has Agnes Gold in his pedigree on the dam's side.

On the locals Bhupat Seemar has Royal Dubai by Seahenge who won on debut over c&d by 7 lengths in OK time – Pat Cosgrave has the ride.
