Verdict

Several in with a shout but the vote goes to last year's winner BENADALID. Chris Fairhurst's charge is 4 lb lower than on that occasion, and having looked back in decent nick when second at Doncaster just over 3 weeks ago, he can go one better here and open his account for the season. Brilliant Light failed to make much impact in Meydan earlier this year but he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Briardale.

  1. BENADALID

  3. BRIARDALE (IRE)
