      Verdict

      DUFF won this last year and though carrying a Group 2 penalty for his victory in the Park Stakes at Doncaster can follow up. He didn't stay the trip in the Hong Kong Mile in December and needed the run over the same distance on his return behind Famous Name here earlier this month and should take care of runner-up King Jock, who was race-fit. Jamaayel has yet to prove herself on fast ground or at this level while the other three-year-old, Purple Land, ran over 1m2f at Naas last time and may not have the pace for this. Croisultan is best on heavy ground and Six Of Hearts on Polytrack.
