Half-a-dozen of this field met in what looked a very strong handicap here a fortnight ago won by Hajoum from Greatwallofchina. The veteran Hard Rock City was a fine third with BANNA BOIRCHE just behind in fourth. Mountain Coral, He's Got Rhythm, Award Ceremony and Toufan Express were all in the rear though not too far away. Banna Boirche was returning from a lay-off and can reverse the form as all of his three career victories have been on this track. Kevin Prendergast has had difficulty finding the right trip for Alsalwa but she was staying on over 6f here last week and should be suited by the extra furlong. Recent track winner Dahindar would be an obvious threat if getting into the race from his reserve spot.
