Rabbah team have gleam in their eye

Rabbah Bloodstock are looking for good runs from their two representatives in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, Majestic Roi and Arabian Gleam.

The Mick Channon-trained Majestic Roi, carrying the colours of Jaber Abdullah, was behind Creachadoir in the Dubai Duty Free, but she is a Group One winner.

Rabbah racing director Bruce Raymond said: "She's benefited from going to Dubai. She didn't run very well out there, but she wasn't quite ready for the race. She looks the pick of the bunch. Mick's very hopeful, she's a Group One winner and she has to go down this route."

The Saeed Suhail-owned Arabian Gleam, trained by Jeremy Noseda, was a progressive type last season and is stepping up to a mile for the first time.

"We've got confidence in him that a mile's going to be his ultimate distance, but he's just got to have a go at this and he's working well enough to warrant taking his chance," said Raymond.

"We're not sure, if it got too soft, how he'll act on that. He's certainly going the right way and he's going to have to tackle these sorts of races."

Tariq, trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam, goes in search of his first success in Group One company, having won the Group Two Betfair Cup at Glorious Goodwood.

"He's in good nick and we don't think the ground will be a problem," said Tony Nerses, racing manager to owners Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar.

"He's got a relaxed attitude which should help him see the mile out and we'll be disappointed if he isn't in the first three.
