In depth

Verdict

Major Cinnamon led for a long way in a similar race here in January before staying on over 7f at Jebel Ali where he had Mambo Mischief and Far Sky behind. The latter led to 2f out so should be suited by this trip. Liquor Scholar showed some ability for Joseph O'Brien and made a decent start for new connections at Jebel Ali last week. Shanaghai City is one of three from the Bouresly operation here but he's fully exposed and perhaps MIQYAAS can prove best of the trio. He didn't make his debut until last April when leading for a long way over 7f here and could prove the value in a poor opener. What A Metal looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Jebel Ali but ran poorly on a return visit.
