2/1
Useful gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 3 runs last year. 20/1, creditable 6½ lengths second of 16 in Maktoum Challenge Round 1 at this C&D 21 days ago, coming from further back than winner. Likely to give another good account.

Smart colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 16/1), racing closer to pace than ideal. Off 118 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer for 210,000 gns. Capable fresh and could be the answer.

Smart gelding who ran poorly in first-time blinkers in Dubawi Stakes at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and can't be ruled out judged on the pick of his form.

Forecasts

Discovery Island (2/1), Ever Given (4/1), Law Of Peace (5/1), Prince Eiji (11/2), Everfast (15/2), Mister Saint Paul (8/1), Imperial Empire (18/1), Thegreatcollection (40/1)

Verdict

EVER GIVEN raced closer to the pace than ideal in a competitive, high-end handicap at Ascot on his final outing for Hugo Palmer and may benefit from this step up to 1m, so he could be the answer having won fresh before. Prince Eiji will pose a big threat if returning to something like the pick of his form, while Discovery Island seems likely to give another good account.
