The Ballydoyle entourage are already on site at Al Rayyan racecourse in Doha after flying in over the weekend, with Royal Ascot winner Broome and classy miler Order Of Australia also making the trip.

Stone Age and Broome are entered in Saturday's HH The Amir Trophy over a mile and a half, a race which has had its purse increased to US$2.5 million this year.
