Verdict
Watheeq scored at Haydock and Lingfield for Roger Varian and is on a fair mark for his debut here but COUNT PARIS is taken to follow up his recent victory. That was in a lower grade event but he won smoothly enough and both career victories have come over the C&D. He has the edge over both Skycruiser and Dan Chillingworth on his earlier victory while Al Razi has only won at Jebel Ali and he rarely races away from there. Tagseed completed a hat-trick for William Haggas in 2010 and hasn't had too much racing here so his run behind Ganas here a couple of weeks ago will have given connections cause for optimism.
