COMICAS could only finish fourth in this a year ago but bounced back with an incredible run in the Golden Shaheen where he chased home Mind Your Biscuits. He looked back to his best in January when easily landing a Group 3, where he had My Catch behind, but the latter reversed the form in no uncertain terms when they met three weeks later. The Godolphin charge is taken to come out on top this time before heading for the Shaheen again. Yalta is a cracking handicapper as he showed with an impressive victory last month though he's generally failed when stepped up to this sort of level. Jordan Sport has been in excellent form on Turf and has a couple of all-weather victories in the UK to his credit while Raven's Corner is in the form of his life having turned a 7f handicap into a procession though this is much tougher.
