      Verdict

      What About Carlo and Noble Gift are proven in this grade and both went close on their latest respective starts. Uae Prince won a lower grade handicap at Ripon but found Listed company beyond him at Ascot last month but AL NEKSH (NAP) returned to action with a second in a competitive contest at York. Progressive last year when handling most types of ground, the Haggas' runner may well come out best in this. Firnas was well beaten over track and trip on his comeback and Total Star needs to improve but Banditry was ahead of Zzoro when runner-up at Chelmsford and is also preferred to Monticello.
