This may rest between last year's winner EUGENIC and Eben Dubai , who are closely matched on recent form but the first named just held the edge last time they met and is taken to confirm the form despite there being little between them at the weights. Sakhalin Star has a penalty to carry and faces a tough test under top weight but should still give a good account of himself.
