High On Life has an exceptional strike-rate of 7-21 though generally wins in lesser grade as he did at Jebel Ali last month when he had Sholan back in third. Eqtiraan, a Listed winner at Salisbury last summer, is better than he's shown in his three runs here and could go well at a fair price. Dutch Masterpiece has been in superb form but all bar one of his nine victories have been over the minimum trip. He had a neck to spare over JORDAN SPORT last month but the latter showed his liking for the extra furlong when landing a better race a fortnight ago and can go in again. Sir Maximilian wasn't beaten far in that latter race and should now be at his peak as should Out Do, who was finishing fastest of all behind Dutch Masterpiece three weeks ago. There are plenty of others to note in a wide-open sprint, especially Yard Line from a positive draw.
