The first four home a year ago are all involved again. The winner, Golden Goal, disappointed subsequently but will be tuned to the minute for another crack. Runner-up Secret Ambition was well beaten in two later starts but the third, Kafoo, ran well when fourth in a Group 1 in March. Thegreatcollection finished fourth and made an eye-catching reappearance behind PRINCE EIJI in a Listed race here last month. The latter is one of five from Doug Watson's yard and could be the pick of the quintet while Desert Wisdom improved throughout the last campaign ending with a length defeat in the Group 2 Godolphin Mile. Algiers won a Group 3 at Jebel Ali in February and isn't out of this.
