        Verdict

        Comicas won this last year for Godolphin whose sole representative this time is TOP SCORE, beaten a short-head at Newmarket in October and better for a staying-on debut on Dirt here last month. He's handed the vote as Daqeeq is difficult to weigh up after just one run at Vaal in May but Grey Britain should do well here as he ran reasonably well in three Group 2's after his maiden victory at Lingfield. Mirdif won a soft-ground Leopardstown maiden in June before racing at a high level and may have been over the top after five quick runs when disappointing at Naas in August. Island Vision, a dual winner in the UK and placed at Listed level, missed the break on her debut on Dirt here last month and will be much better for the run but Masham Star hasn't shown much in two runs in the UAE.
