Verdict
Imtyaz won a three runner race in good style here in the Glasgo Stakes and if he can reproduce that effort he will be very hard to beat. Arabie ran well when second behind Ulundi last time out in a listed race last time out and the winner has gone on to frank the form since and he looks a big danger to all with conditions sure to be in his favour. Umistim ran a blinder in the Hugerford Stakes when touched off by his stablemate Reel Buddy, but his best form is with a little juice in the ground and he may not be able to reproduce that form again on a fast surface. Desert Deer has been a highly progressive colt all season but he was slightly disappointing last time out and he may be better over a shorter trip despite having won over this far. Binary File was sixth in a Group 3 last time out and he will find this easier but he needs to improve again to score. Bourgainville showed improved form when second in a listed contest last time out but he need s to improve again to score here. Vicious Knight would prefer more cut.
