Gervais catches the eye lurking at the bottom of the handicap after his victory over a mile two weeks ago. However, he's badly drawn and was narrowly beaten by MAYAADEEN over this trip earlier and is no better off with Doug Watson's charge, who gets the nod. The former Godolphin-trained Visible Charm is very consistent though has no experience on an artificial surface. Antonio Vivaldi has gradually improved and makes his handicap debut on a fair mark while the former Bob Baffert-trained Ra'ad, a winner in the USA, could be a blot on the handicap. The lightly-raced Tabarak scored over the track and trip in March last year but hasn't run since this meeting a year ago while stable companion Shanty Star is better over an extra furlong.
