Verdict

SHEIKHZAYEDROAD had a very good campaign in the UK last summer and came here on his highest ever mark a month ago but stayed on strongly off a fast pace to score over 1m2f. He could be even better over this trip so is taken to complete the double though the Irish-trained Dabadiyan, who was a close fifth, is expected to make his presence felt as that was his first start since September. Songcraft landed a York Listed contest over 1m6f in May so this could prove on the short side. Topclas was in good form here a year ago and made a promising return to action behind Certerach last month with the disappointing Dormello behind. Vasily has joined Mike De Kock and looked in need of the run behind Gabrial last month so with that under his belt he's expected to go close. Meandre has been superbly placed to land four Group 1s in Germany and France and will have found 1m2f too short on his return to this track. He ran in the World Cup last year and should find this more to his liking.
