Verdict
Sir Mark Prescott trained last year’s winner and JEBEL DUKHAN faces an easier task than when fifth at Kempton on last month’s debut. He gets the vote with normal progress. Russco finished closer over 6f at Chester last time and looks best of the rest with racecourse experience while Mr Excellency won’t need to be anything special to get involved on his debut and is preferred to Arid Steel of the newcomers.
