Mike De Kock was back among the winners here on Thursday and could dominate this. ALMOONQUITH won a handicap on Turf here in February and his subsequent runs have been on Tapeta and Dirt which hasn't suited. Back on his favoured surface and with last week's run under his belt he can get back to winning ways. Lehaaf is another who reverts to Turf after looking unsuited by artificial surfaces and he's better than form figures indicate. Genius Boy completed a handicap four-timer in the summer for James Tate then went up so much in the weights he had to take on much stiffer opposition and was well beaten. Royal Revival is a hold-up horse and the tactics have worked a treat twice in recent weeks at Abu Dhabi. He holds Pied A Terre and Canwinn on the latest of those runs and can get into the action.
