Verdict

Kuwait Direction has struck form, scoring at Fairyhouse in September and running well in all subsequent starts on this track. Only beaten narrowly over track and trip last month he should make a bold bid though DUTCH GLORY gets the nod. She has only had five starts and hasn't been beaten far in any of them including from a 9lb higher mark here in the summer. Midnight Fire beat a huge field at the Curragh back in May from 7lb higher and was having only his second start here when a close fifth over 7f last month. Sadiqaa, a winner at Newmarket for Clive Cox, has been doing all of his racing over 7f but led for a long way here last week.
