        Verdict

        Draco, a debut winner at Gulfstream in 2017, has returned to action with two very easy victories at Jebel Ali and a mark of 97 may be underestimating him. Secret Ambition is wonderfully consistent and his second to Kimbear in a Group 3 last March is excellent form though he suffered in the weights for that run. His stable also run Irish Freedom, three times a winner on Dirt in the USA. Galvanize has a very good record here but at a lower level including his easy victory last month while prospective punters would need to forgive Rodaini a poor run in a Listed contest last time. Plato O Plomo has plenty of winning for in Sweden but THEGREATCOLLECTION looked on the way back to form last time and last year's close second to Secret Ambition, when conceding 13lb, puts him in the driving seat. Hornsby is usually running on when the race is over but a strong gallop would play to his strengths.
