In depth

Verdict

Mecca’s Angel won this sprint when held at Longchamp last year, in which SPIRIT QUARTZ finished sixth. The latter has subsequently rejoined Robert Cowell’s yard and after a one-length defeat in the Palace House at Newmarket, he may well be back to his best here. Sir Maximilian won a Group 3 at Chester earlier this month and has every chance. He’s preferred to Monsieur Joe and Mirza with the latter finishing behind Sir Maximilian at Meydan and the home challenger, Signs Of Blessing, already this year. The latter also beat Finsbury Square and Gengis in March and is preferred to Son Cesio.
