In depth
Verdict
Last years winner Al Muallim looks set to follow up. He is a useful idividual at this level and should prove too strong for the three-year-old Lord Of The East. The latter, who will be ridden by Frankie Dettori who incidentally partnered Al Muallim in this race last year, has more to do than when winning a handicap off 58, over course and distance last time. Auntie Dot Com takes a drop in class and may be good enough to make the frame.
