Verdict
Asadjumeirah won this last year though finished behind third-placed at Southwell last week. The latter had earlier beaten Brazen Bolt when scoring here and Minesbiggerthanurs and Shallow Hal also have a bit to find. But EMPEROR SPIRIT has been racing in tougher contests than this and may prove the one to side with if allowed his own way in front.
