The Crisford stable had a tremendous 2020 and their first runner here last week finished second. CORVAIR completed a hat-trick on the all-weather last winter and performed with credit in three races on Turf during the summer. He looks the type to do well here and gets the nod though Dubai Legacy, who was performing in Carnival handicaps at the beginning of last year, is an obvious threat after a run at Chelmsford in September. Madkhal looks a threat as he scored over the track and trip last month before finding 6f just too short last week where he stayed on strongly. Seniority, five-times a winner for William Haggas, raced in much stronger company when transferred here last winter and was only narrowly beaten in an Abu Dhabi Listed contest in March so could provide the main threat.
