Tashweeq showed nothing in Carnival handicaps last year but landed a minor handicap over the track and trip last month. Major Partnership is the other course and distance winner in the line-up and he won a strong handicap last month before having little chance from a poor draw over a mile. Godolphin also run BEYOND REASON, who makes her handicap debut. Twice a winner in Group company at Deauville in 2018, she had to settle for third behind stable companion Magic Lily in the Cape Verdi but this represents a drop in class and she looks the one to beat. Rodaini has a fine record around here, mainly in decent company, and is on the same mark as when last successful here a year ago.
