The classiest line-up here since last year's World Cup highlighted by the appearance of dual Champion Stakes hero Twice Over, who is warming up for another crack at the World Cup in which he disappointed a year ago. He's unlikely to be ready for this nor is Arlington Million winner Debussy, who also disappointed here last year. Del Mar Grade 1 winner Richard's Kid also returns after a break but goes well fresh so is no forlorn hope to make a winning reappearance. Prince Bishop improved with every run last season but he's never raced on this surface and all of his form is on soft ground while Breeders' Cup Classic sixth Etched is another who is a stranger to Tapeta. Last year's dual UAE classic winner MUSIR produced a superb comeback run over a mile behind Skysurfers three weeks ago and that will have put him spot-on for this. He has plenty to fear from Gitano Hernando, who needed the run behind Bold Silvano last month, and Win For Sure, whose recent victory has been boosted by the placed horses.
