Verdict

MASTER OF THE SEAS is very classy at his best and is taken to bounce back from a disappointing run in Dubai when last seen in March. Jimi Hendrix will have a say if he can reproduce the level he achieved when a comfortable winner of the Royal Hunt Cup here last month. The reappearing Mighty Ulysses is another to consider.

  1. MASTER OF THE SEAS (IRE)
  2. JIMI HENDRIX (IRE)
  3. MIGHTY ULYSSES
