Verdict

Bronze Prince, Verse Of Love and Chilli Green are all decent handicappers on the Polytrack but look up against it on today's terms. Don't Call Me ran up to his best at Doncaster a fortnight ago in similar company but that wasn't quite good enough and Majestic Myles makes more appeal over today's trip. Jockey bookings could prove revealing regarding the remaining runners as Paul Hanagan has chosen Aljamaaheer ahead of Burwaaz. The former has every chance if at his best on his return but Richard Hughes has abandoned the once-useful Chandlery in favour of PRODUCER and he is preferred. The latter had a couple of outings over a mile at Meydan earlier this year but beat The Cheka in a Group 3 over 7f at Goodwood last season and gets the nod on that form.
