Magnus Maximus failed to threaten in three starts at Meydan earlier in the year but has every chance on these terms if back to his best. Absolutely So has been competing in Listed company and is another with a shout at the weights while Solar Flair has been in fine form at Kempton and won a decent handicap last time. But RAUCOUS returns to action having placed in Group 3 sprints last year including a third to Shalaa, rated 121, at Ascot in October and he gets the nod to make a winning seasonal debut with Ryan Moore on board.
