Verdict
This hasn't been a good race for Ireland over the years but JUST AN HOUR looks well enough handicapped to give a good account despite only scrambling home at Killarney. Good Karma's two victories have been over 7f but he'll have no problems with the trip. One Nation was in very good form at Meydan earlier this year while Racingbreaks Ryder arrives on a four-timer after making all for a comfortable victory over 7f here. Ramazan made an encouraging reappearance at York but Naxos has only raced on the all-weather. Quantum Impact had Saxon King behind at York and the latter gave the form a boost at Chester on Saturday while Docklands has won over the track and trip.
