        Verdict

        The Germany-trained Walderbe has five victories to his credit including at Group 2 level though has never been the trip. Mark Johnston's Subjectivist is the only four-year-old in the line-up and receives an allowance though it was heavy going when he won the Group 1 Prix Royal Oak at Longchamp. Spanish Mission, SECRET ADVISOR and Red Verdon occupied the minor positions in the hugely lucrative Red Sea Turf Handicap over 1m7f at Riyadh with Charlie Appleby's charge coming out best at the weights for this and getting the vote. Global Heat is progressing nicely and, after landing a 1m4f handicap, has run very well over 1m6f in a Listed handicap and a Grade 3 where he just failed to catch Volcanic Sky.
