Verdict
Enery is a consistent performer at this level and shouldn't be long winning again while Tradesman has found his form at Jebel Ali and has been placed in both starts around here. Long Water generally performs with credit but has never raced over a trip this far nor has the lightly-raced Mazeed, whose recent victory came over a mile. Corso Como has only been in moderate form but Quartier Francais wasn't at his best at Jebel Ali after his easy victory at Al Ain. Pit Stop has never run over a trip this far but top weight shouldn't prevent a big run from the lightly-raced AL TAWEEL, who beat Vivernus easily enough here in March and made an eye-catching comeback in November.
