      Verdict

      With the Godolphin team still not firing all cylinders Mahmood Al Zarooni's STORM ULTRALIGHT may be the best bet ahead of King Of Dixie and Georgebernardshaw. This ex Uruguayan horse was quite impressive when winning on debut for the boys in blue at Lingfield. He may be slightly flattered by the bare result of the form as the horse he beat was not running over his optimum trip. However, he done it very well in the end and improvement can be expected. King Of Dixe shed his all weather horse tag when winning a conditions event at Ascot on his seasonal reappearance. He is another that may be slightly flattered by that form and carrying a penalty today will make life tougher. However, he is another who is entitled to come on for the run. Ex Aidan O'Brien inmate, Georgebernardshaw, made a pleasing first start for his new trainer when an unlucky fourth to Lovelace. He was continuously denied a clear run and is another that will be in the shake up. Skysufers is another horse to note but with Saeed Bin Suroor's runners misfiring we will put up the other Godolphin runner Storm Ultralight.
