Verdict

HUKUM won a Group 3 last year and finished a respectable third in the Hardwicke at Ascot last time. A tongue-tie may bring further improvement and he can conform latest running with Ilaraab. Fujaira Prince made a winning reappearance last season and went on to land the Ebor over track and trip while Away He Goes ran some good races at Meydan earlier this year including a third in the Duabai Gold Cup. Roberto Escobarr won a Listed event over course and distance last month and is preferred to Irish raider Sonnyboyliston, who also picked-up a Listed race when scoring Limerick. Quickthorn is a progressive handicapper and may improve past the likes of Outbox and Morando.
