Verdict
Ra'ad steps up in trip after scoring over 7f here last week. Capla Crusader had raced almost exclusively on Dirt before staying on strongly over slightly shorter on Turf a fortnight ago. DUBLIN PHAROAH, three-times a winner in the UK, is gradually dropping to a winnable mark and showed last month his turn isn't far away so he gets the vote though there are plenty of dangers including stablemate Coast Sky, three-times a winner at Jebel Ali and having his first-ever start here. Untold Secret is only 2lb higher than when scoring here in December.
