    Verdict

    Comicality will make a bold bid under Richard Hughes. A debut winner over 7f in November, he led until overhauled by Alnashmy in a better race over that trip last month and has the pace for this though an outside draw tempers enthusiasm. Kieren Fallon is an intriguing booking for FESTIVAL CITY and his mount is handed the vote. A close second on his only start here a year ago, he's been running well at Sharjah and his latest effort has to be ignored as he was impeded at the start. Forevertheoptimist won a similar grade event over the track and trip a year ago and should be ready after two recent runs while the ex-Irish Najm Suhail, a winner at Dundalk in May, could prove to be well handicapped on his first start for new connections. Grilletto, a winner for James Tate at Wolverhampton in October, found a mile much too far at Jebel Ali on his Emirates debut on Friday.
