Verdict

Seoul Bullet only showed moderate form at Gulfstream but has won seven races in Korea, two less than compatriot Main Stay, who beat him half-a-length when receiving 3lb last time. The pair are very difficult to fathom as is Giftorm, a Group 3 winner in Sweden, who showed some good form here last winter with a close second to Cool Cowboy the highlight. Spirit Quartz has won nine races but has only run once on an all-weather surface at Lingfield. Calder Prince had three runs around here last winter but didn't really impress so the vote goes to SHAISHEE, who had United Color in second when scoring here earlier and found 7f too far last time.
