FormscanBy Michael Graham - Drying ground ought to be ideal for British raider A'ALI. The Crisford runner has already shown his fondness for this five furlong trip when beating Make A Challenge by a length in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes in July, when partnered by Colin Keane. He should find this more to his liking than when beaten three and a half lengths into fourth by the flying Battaash in the Group One Nunthorpe at York. Que Amoro was a couple of places in front of A'ali in that race after blazing a trail and has to be respected. Make A Challenge continues to go from strength to strength as he has clocked up another two victories since being beaten by A'ali. He is well entitled to be on the premises. Other to consider are Glass Slippers and Sonaiyla.
