Verdict

Balmoral Handicap winner MUSADDAS (NAP) showed the benefit of his opening run here with a smooth victory over today's rival Dormello three weeks ago. That was over a furlong shorter but the extra shouldn't be a problem nor will a 5lb rise. Elleval is extremely consistent but just doesn't win often enough as his record of 1-30 on Turf suggests. He's been running well and is likely to be thereabouts again though he has something to find with Limario. Doug Watson's charge beat his rival into third here a year ago and is 5lb better off at the weights. Whistle Stop had almost a year off before returning in January and showed the benefit of that run with a cracking effort behind stable companion Sanshaawes over the course and distance a couple of weeks later. Khusoosy won four of his eight starts for Godolphin in the UK and made a successful debut for Ali Al Raihe at Abu Dhabi last month. Paul Hanagan picks him from a quartet of his retained owner's runners so more is expected.
