Verdict
This looks wide open but FINAL VOYAGE included a hat-trick of course and distance wins in an earlier four-timer and gets the vote back at this level after an outing in Listed company. He should have the measure of Tasfeeq while Silent Film and Sabousi were both beaten carrying penalties in novice company last time. Summa Peto, Ilza'eem and Great King won easily on their respective reappearances and all make their handicap debuts with the latter perhaps proving best of them.
