FormscanBy Gary Carson - Charlie Appleby has a really good record in the race and SABA DESERT can give him a fourth winner in the Group 1 contest. The Dubawi colt still looked a touch green when winning the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket back in July but also showed a smart turn of foot to quicken up and run out an impressive winner. There looks to be scope for plenty more improvement from him. Gstaad was turned over in France last time but was beaten by a good filly in Venetian Sun and Aidan O’Brien expects him to relish the step up to seven furlongs now. The other English raider Zavateri brings an unbeaten record into the race and also commands respect.
