Verdict

Dark Of Night was racing at the carnival in the spring and has the highest official rating but he's drawn the widest berth which he may not be capable of overcoming on his reappearance. Spirit Of Light was only 2 lengths behind him in the 2000 Guineas Trial here in January and has the benefit of a run here a month ago. Doug Watson has started the season with a bang and Coast Sky showed his first sign of ability at Jebel Ali though he's another with an outside draw. The stable also run Midnight Hunter and GREAT IMAGE with preference for the latter, who showed moderate form for Godolphin in the UK but looked the type to improve with experience and this looks winnable. Midnight Deal may prove best of the remainder.
