        Verdict

        Art Du Val has a fine record around here, landing a Listed handicap in 2020 and running well in all three starts last winter including when less than a length behind LORD GLITTERS (NAP) in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta. The winner made a successful reappearance in the Singspiel a year ago before a close third in this then a late thrust saw him land the Jebel Hatta. He warmed up for another winter here with a brilliant victory in the Bahrain Trophy in November and can continue his outstanding run. Bedouin's Story made a successful return to action here last year and later won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket while Highland Avenue began last year with a hat-trick though was found out in Group company later. Royal Fleet has won four out of five though takes a big step up in class.
