Wild Hurricane started favourite on his debut here a month ago but was beaten 20 lengths behind AL JADDAF though he finished with an injury. The winner had a fitness advantage but was always travelling like a winner and can defy a 6lb rise. Al Maroom gained his only victory over the track and trip two years ago but is generally consistent at this level though his stable also saddle the lightly-raced Maputo with stable jockey Tadgh O‘Shea on board. Kaheall goes well fresh and was only beaten a neck on his latest start in March.
