[Wandering Eyes]

Last year's G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes winner Economics, who has been off the track for almost a year, has been given an entry for the G2 Bahrain International Trophy on November 15. 

The 2025 running of the $1m contest has attracted strong interest from across the globe, with the 68 entries representing seven different territories and including five Group 1 winners. 

His Highness Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa's Economics is joined by White Birch, Tornado Alert, Calif, Sibayan, See The Fire, Wimbledon Hawkeye and Royal Champion among the glittering list of potential runners.

Also set to return to Bahrain is Victorious Forever's G2 Hardwicke Stakes winner Isle Of Jura, who enjoyed a notable spell in Bahrain in 2023-24, winning four times, culminating with victory in The King's Cup.

Britain has the largest entry of 24 horses, followed by Japan with 14 entries and 11 from France.

The Bahrain International Trophy, which is run over 2000m and has been won in the last two years by the Richard Fahey-trained Spirit Dancer, has a maximum field of 14 runners.
