In depth

Verdict

The top five are trained by Doug Watson, as is Jeeraan at the bottom of the weights. Mizbah won a better handicap than this at the Carnival and ended the campaign finishing last in a Group 1 in March. Storm Belt won a minor Listed contest here in December but ran poorly subsequently and is berthed wide, as is stable companion Grand Argentier though Josh Quinn's claim will aid the latter. BRABBHAM completed a hat-trick here at the beginning of last year and though much higher in the weights won at Jebel Ali in January. He is very well treated on his best form and is also well treated with Jim Crowley's mount Nathr on their running here last year so can make a successful reappearance. Trinity Force is just 2lb higher than when successful over the course and distance last November while Handsome Man finished runner-up in this a year ago but only ran twice subsequently.
