Verdict
The last three winners have been smart performers carrying big weights and all have been drawn high. Stuccodor isn't berthed as well this time but the 6lb extra he has to carry is virtually wiped out by the claim of the excellent Luke Dempsey so he should get into the mix again. Boomshackerlacker has been running on Dirt at Meydan but landed a Listed race in Germany in November while the lightly-raced You're Fired is another UK raider who has to be respected as he should make progress this year. Onenightidreamed ran a cracking race when a close third in a premier handicap here last May as that was only his third start. He was just behind Bold Thady Quill but has more scope and should reverse the form. Haaf A Sixpence arrives in good form and will like the conditions but in a race where virtually anything could win it's last year's third CANARY ROW who is handed the vote. It's a problem that he's only won once in 19 starts but he's very consistent at this sort of level, especially with some give in the ground, and his young rider is excellent value for his claim.
