In depth
Verdict
LORD GLITTERS won this last year and showed he was as good as ever when landing the Singspiel for the second successive year last month, coming with his customary late burst to pass Royal Fleet, Zakouski and Freescape. David O'Meara's veteran has the latter pair to beat again and Zakouski, who beat him in last year's Group 2 Al Rashidiya, is an obvious threat again along with the stable's Barney Roy. The latter, who won this in 2020, was caught close home by the selection in the lucrative Bahrain Trophy over 1m2f in November.
