        Verdict

        Alemaratalyoum is at home at this level and preferred to the likes of Florencio and Jaleel off his current mark. But several have scope for improvement now handicapping for the first time including Aljari, a dual winner over 6f in novice company. Madkhal returns to action for Godolphin having also won over 6f while Owen Burrows sent out Mizaah to win last year’s renewal on his first start of the year and attempts the same feat with ALFARQAD. The latter has been gelded since beating a subsequent winner at Kempton nearly a year ago and gets the nod to make a winning return.
