        Verdict

        SHEA SHEA won this last year from his old adversary Sole Power before going on to land the Al Quoz Sprint. The latter reversed the form in the King's Stand Stakes under a brilliant Johnny Murtagh ride and the pair will be at the forefront of the betting on World Cup night. Mike De Kock had already got a run into his charge last year but this time he arrives after an absence, as does Sole Power, though he's the best sprinter in the race and can make a successful comeback. Catcall was headed right on the line by Maarek in the Abbaye though that was on soft ground. He had a nice prep run a couple of weeks ago so will strip fitter than his main rivals though the quick ground is a concern. Alsaaeqah and Beat Baby were separated by a short-head in a handicap in January and should go well again, though that form doesn't match that of the three principals.
