      Verdict

      The front-running Ajwad makes a quick reappearance after just failing to make all over 7f at Jebel Ali and he's run in much stronger company on this track so should be difficult to catch. Shillong and Nomadic were behind and look held but Mabrouka has managed to get a run from her reserve spot and she's taking a drop in grade after contesting the 1000 Guineas Trial. Mike De Kock has a couple of runners here and SYNCOPATION looks his main choice. Placed twice in nurseries for Sylvester Kirk, he started odds-on for his debut over 7f on Turf here a fortnight ago and though showing good pace he found little when asked to quicken. He looks the one to be on as Colour Catcher, placed three times for Godolphin in 2014, hasn't run since September of that year.
