        Verdict

        SPEEDY MOVE is just 3lb higher than when scoring here in March and found 6f too short on last month's reappearance. He can give the weight away though the unexposed Davy Lamp has run two good races here and looks certain to be winning soon. Doug Watson has four entries. Mightily hasn't shown the form expected of him since arriving from France; Dangerous Thought has done better on other tracks; Mayaadeen has disappointed in three starts since moving from Dermot Weld while Sheba needs further. Brighton winner Zaajer led for a long way over an extended mile at Sharjah so will appreciate the drop in trip but Dahawi, a dual Polytrack winner for Hugo Palmer, may need to acclimatise.
