Dublin Pharaoh, three times a winner for Roger Varian, will have needed last month's comeback and should do much better. KANOOD has a very good record around here and made a very convincing reappearance last month, leading off the final turn and going clear. He has further to go this time but wasn't stopping and can go in again. Runner-up Dalaalaat should get closer as should Mulfit, who came from a long way back. Mudallel scored over the track and trip early last month but never got involved at Abu Dhabi a few days later. The lightly-raced Brontology may prove best of the remainder.
