Although a seven-year-old, Nadour Al Bahr retains his enthusiasm. He will have conditions to his liking here and looks sure too give a good account. Ionian Spring, is a talented if somewhat quirky individual. He is more than capable of making them all go if putting his best foot forward. Gentleman Venture, a beaten favourite in this event last year, has nothing in hand of Chief Cashier the runner-up, and the lightly weighted Altay may prove more of a threat.
