    Verdict

    Dubai Warrior disappointed in a Group 3 race at Longchamp in September having gone close over track and trip before that. He should do better back at this venue while Victory Bond has won conditions races on the all-weather but has yet to win a handicap and hasn’t raced since April. Kasbaan and Aweedram have both landed doubles over a mile this year with the former’s coming at Kempton but he remains 8lb higher than his latest success while Circus Couture arrives out of form. ELWAZIR (NAP) has faced tougher tasks than this so far this year including behind Air Pilot, rated 114, in Listed company at Goodwood last time. The drop in class could see Owen Burrows’ colt back to winning ways on his all-weather debut and he gets the nod.
