Verdict

Comicas won the 1000 Guineas Trial on Dirt last year and has only had three subsequent starts, the latest when showing good speed over 7f after a long break. Godolphin also run Acolyte, a winner for Roger Charlton and on his debut here last month for which a 4lb rise looks lenient. Shaishee, a Group 3 winner here almost two years ago, has looked on the way back on his last couple of starts but this can go to the Hong Kong-based DUNDONNELL, who has raced in top events at Sha Tin and is a very smart sprinter. The latter remark also applies to his compatriot Fabulous One, who has plenty of winning form at Sha Tin and Happy Valley. Breakdancer's form in Sweden leaves him a bit to find.
