      Verdict

      Razkalla is difficult to oppose and is therefore put forward as the one to beat with Persian Majesty and Albinus rated as the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Phoenix Reach in Dubai last time and he looks to have the strongest form on show here. Persian Majesty broke slowly from the stalls and finished last in a Group 3 race behind High Accolade at Ascot last time. He has had his problems but there is no doubt he has ability, so he is certainly one to keep an eye on in the market. Albinus has a lot of ability but he is not the most straightforward and he does have a tendency to hang when he hits the front. He is probably best watched in this competitive race. Persian Lightning has ability but looks exposed compared to the rest of these and for the winner we will stick with Razkalla.
