Verdict

Caspian Prince won this a year ago from Hototo but both are drawn out wide this time as is Fityaan, who wasn't beaten too far in sixth. Medicean Man was a close fifth and has the best of the draw this time so the veteran is expected to go well after his victory in a hot handicap at Chelmsford. Michael Halford does well with his sprinters here and Toscanini is respected despite an absence since October while Mirza, a regular at Group 1 level, is another who hasn't been seen since the autumn. Roicead was the surprise winner of a handicap here last month and though not doing so well over an extra furlong on Dirt subsequently has to be considered from his inside berth. MUBTAGHAA, a triple winner for William Haggas, had a pipe-opener a fortnight ago which should have put him spot-on and he's taken to reverse form with stable companion Fityaan, who finished runner-up.
