The feature of the day is the Bahrain International Trophy. ROYAL CHAMPION (7) is a proven international performer, who has winning form on this track. He has put in some big runs against the best in the world, and he looks perfectly placed to add to his fine record in this. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (10) was a last start winner at Longchamp at G2 level, and it is important to note Christophe Soumillon has travelled to retain the ride. He can repeat the dose. SALLAAL (8) made plenty of progress this year, and heads into this off a hat-trick of wins. He has plenty of upside, and can take this out. PHINEAS (6) did not fire in the same race as the second pick when finishing sixth of 7 as the favourite. He is too good to drop just yet, so follow your money. MILITARY ORDER (5) has placed here in the past, and won his last start at Dundalk at Listed level 7 weeks ago. Charlie Appleby reigns supreme in this part of the world, and has to always be respected.
