Verdict
EASY TIGER made a winning start over track and trip last month and can get the better of more exposed types with normal improvement. British Art returned a losing favourite at Kempton last time and the same comment applies to Rock Kristal but Dark War nearly recorded a shock win when a close-up third at the same track on his latest start. Muhaarib Al Emarat faces different conditions after winning over 6f in soft ground last time and Cascading Stars drops back in trip after finishing second at Kempton.
