Araafa is an essential addition to any betting slip at Glorious Goodwood tomorrow.
The Mull Of Kintyre colt has proved most progressive as a three-year-old, following up a fourth-placed effort in the Stan James 2000 Guineas at Newmarket with victory in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh.
Jeremy Noseda's charge impressed yet further when powering to a comfortable triumph in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
Moreover, Araafa's preparations ahead of the Cantor Spreadfair Sussex Stakes have reportedly gone perfectly.
While this would appear a decent renewal of the one-mile Group One contest, Noseda's charge has the engine and emphatic turn of foot to land another rousing success at the highest level.
Strategic Prince can follow up his classy effort at Newmarket last time by winning the Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes over seven furlongs.
Paul Cole's two-year-old relished the step up to six furlongs in the TNT July Stakes and stayed on in really pleasing style to win by a length and three-quarters.
While that performance was undoubtedly impressive, it left a strong feeling he could be even more effective over this trip - particularly given his breeding.
A half-brother to unlucky-in-running Melbourne Cup contender Yorkshire, Strategic Prince is clearly on the upgrade and should be there when it matters in this Group Two heat.
There should be no question marks over the ability of Ask, who is a confident selection in the cantorspreadfair.com Stakes.
