        Verdict

        Hunter's Light has returned to action in sparkling form. He won the Group 1 Al Maktoum Challenge on this card in 2013 and is an obvious contender. Mike De Kock has no less than six entries including VERCINGETORIX, who won this last year before finishing runner-up in the Dubai Duty Free where he had his stablemate Anaerobio and Hunter's Light behind. He was always travelling smoothly when comfortably seeing off True Story in January and can take this again on the way to another crack at the main event. Darwin hasn't quite hit the heights since joining the South African from Ballydoyle and Flying The Flag will need to step up a notch from his handicap victory last week. Trade Storm wasn't too far behind in this last year and proved his value by landing a Group 1 at Woodbine in September. Dave Simcock will have him right and a big run is expected.
