Verdict

ERTIJAAL was in excellent form here a year ago landing two handicaps before a close second in the Al Quod Sprint on World Cup night. He reappeared to concede weight to The Happy Prince in a handicap last month and should gain his first success at Group level. Jungle Cat wasn't far behind him in the Al Quod after finishing a nose behind Fityaan in this race. He looks the main threat as Speed Hawk, the winner of a tough handicap a couple of weeks ago, was behind the selection when receiving 7lb a year ago. The veteran Sole Power wasn't far behind Speed Hawk last time and with a 5lb pull can get competitive, especially as he should now be at his peak.
