Riyadh Saudi Cup Meeting Preview 2022

At a much bigger price is the Francis Henri-Graffard trained Ebaiyra who also heads into the event in some smart form, finishing a good third behind Pyledriver last time out in the Hong Kong Vase.

Winning a Group Three and Group Two in France back in May, he has shown form on both fast and slow ground, with his latest third keeping him in the frame to hit the place at a big price.

The penultimate race we have a selection in on the day is the Group Three Saudi Derby over a mile and Noble Truth for Charlie Appleby will not be far away.

A son of Kingman, he’s won two of his five outings to date, finishing a good third on debut over seven furlongs in June at Newmarket hinting at plenty of promise behind the group winning Lusail. 

Running well in a deep contest set him up nicely to get off the mark at the second time of asking at Newmarket, seeing off the smart Ehraz.

He was disappointing when upped to the Group Three Acomb Stakes at York, when only beating one home, but the race form has turned out well.

Noble Truth bounced back to form at Doncaster when landing the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes from rival Hoo Ya Mal.

He then stepped up to Group One company last time out in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere Stakes on Arc weekend and he was only beaten by Angel Bleu.

Looking to round off the season in style the Group Three Horris Hill Stakes he ran no race at all and that can be put behind him.

Coming into the race fresh off a break and getting his preferred ground, he is a player.
