Verdict
Ajraam had half-a-length to spare over LIFE PARTNER when they occupied the first two spots over 6f here in November but the runner-up is much better suited by the extra furlong and should take his revenge on slightly better terms. His trainer is also represented by the lightly raced Padlock, another who is stepping up in trip and who should be suited judged on his latest two runs on the track when staying on. Conquerant would have a fine chance if repeating the form shown when headed right on the line over the track and trip in November and though running poorly next time bounced back with a good run behind Stormardal. Crowdmania made a promising start here a month ago but didn't appear to handle soft ground at Abu Dhabi last time.
