Verdict
Cloudante drops in class for this and may finish closer but FANTASY KING also drops down a grade. The latter arrives in the better form having finished third over track and trip last time and James Moffatt's charge gets the nod racing off the same mark today. Merchant Of Dubai went close in similar company here in November and Uisge Beatha has been thereabouts of late. Endeavor won over 2m here earlier but never threatened off today's higher mark last time while the likes of Mwangaza and Wyfield Rose are looking to take advantage of a slip down the weights.
