Manjeer finished runner-up in this last year but has been in poor form in two runs this campaign and was a long way behind MOUHEEB in the Group 3 won by Switzerland in January. Michael Costa's charge had earlier beaten Tuz in a Listed contest and though the latter easily won a Group 3 a month ago there appears no reason for a form reversal. Sound Money, three-times a winner on Dirt in the USA including a Grade 2, has switched to Bhupat Seemar though may just need the run but Colour Up sluiced up in a handicap here last week and shouldn't be disgraced at this much higher level. His stablemate Isolate was three lengths behind Tuz a month ago but that was his first start since September so he's entitled to get closer.
