In depth
Verdict
Statim won well when making all last time out when beating Quitte La France but this looks tougher. Reveillez is also in good form having beaten Deco Star in good style last time out and he is obviously on the upgrade and he looks the one to beat. Khams Alhawas is also one to keep an eye on but may be in the handicappers grip.
