GEORGE VILLIERS has had a fine winter at Meydan, scoring over a mile there in November and landing a Carnival handicap over this trip in January. He'll find this less daunting and holds Dehbashi on their latest run and on their 1-2 on that track a year ago. Yulong Warrior was placed in a Group 3 over a mile here in January but didn't appear to stay this trip in a Listed contest last time. Talento Puma was well beaten on his only start over this distance but Conclusion, who started out with Aidan O'Brien, has been running well here and at Meydan.
