Antonio Vivaldi landed a maiden here in good style but ran poorly on his handicap debut next time. Daffg hasn't won for a very long time but just failed to catch the winner over 7f at Abu Dhabi last week so has to be respected. King Of Arms landed a Kempton maiden for John Gosden and has joined an in-form yard and the very progressive Sadeedd scored over 6f at Jebel Ali last month. MADAME ELLINGTINA was well beaten behind Amani Pico at Jebel Ali last March but turned the tables in no uncertain terms there a couple of weeks later. She's unexposed, on a fair mark and gets a tentative vote in a tight handicap.
