Bochart, who ended the last campaign with victories over 7f and a mile here and at Jebel Ali, was beaten a distance on his reappearance over the latter trip here in November and hasn't run subsequently. Ajraam, who has changed stables, has gradually dropped to a mark he should be capable of winning from while Guernsey, a Dirt winner in the USA, will be better for his opening run for Mike De Kock. Call To War was well beaten on his only start here just over a year ago but has been doing better at Jebel Ali and should get into contention. STRONG CHEMISTRY is consistent enough at this sort of level and has been leading before finding little over longer trips so gets the nod to add to his victory at Jebel Ali in January.
