        Verdict

        Runner-up in a Guineas trial at Meydan earlier this year, RACING COUNTRY is rated 88 and faces an easier task than he did in Dubai - he’ll go close if running anywhere near his handicap mark. Glenglade finished runner-up at Haydock recently and should be in the mix while Hateel, though a well beaten third on the Rowley course here on her debut in November, is worth a second glance on her reappearance. The remainder with experience make little appeal but the newcomer Spirit Of Buxted should be noted in the betting.
