Son of Kingman, who won this race in 2014; shouldn't be judged harshly on Ascot defeat where Al Qudra had his own way up front; that is flanked by emphatic wins (6f/7f) at Doncaster, looking a Group colt in the making; withdrawn (broke out of stalls) when favourite for the Champagne Stakes there in September; remains of strong interest.
