    Verdict

    ALMOHTASEB found one too good at Salisbury last time and is Dane O'Neill's choice of the Hamdan Al Maktoum runners ahead of Alasaal. The latter has yet to threaten despite making the frame in all three starts to date and Suitor looks a bigger danger after finishing much closer on his latest start at Windsor. Arms Around Me is the most exposed and not getting any nearer to winning while Magician Coutinho was tailed off on last month's debut.
