Verdict

GREAT ORDER missed the whole of last year but won a couple of races as a three-year-old and is rated 102. Saeed Bin Suroor’s charge won’t need to run anywhere near that mark to come out best on his return despite the hefty weight concession. Keir Hardie was beaten a long way on his recent debut by an odds-on favourite with the same rating as the selection and may come out second-best once again. The latter finished in front of Sharp Reply on that occasion while Shanghai Silver is preferred to Full Suit of the remainder.
