Verdict
Goring won this back in 2018 but was beaten by Almufti when the latter scored over track and trip a fortnight ago. Hugo Palmer’s charge also beat Spirit Warning and Zhui Feng on that occasion and is fancied to confirm running in this. Arcanada has won a handicap off today’s mark in the past but HABUB makes most appeal. The latter faced a tough task over 6f in Listed company here on his reappearance having ended last year with a victory over today’s trip and winning partner Jim Crowley returns from Dubai for his only ride of the day.
