Ajuste Fiscal hung on to beat Made In Dubai a fortnight ago and has a big pull in the weights so should confirm the form. Atletico El Culano has not won here but has been placed at a higher level so should get competitive. Book Review was the easy winner of a minor handicap a month ago but will need to improve as will Al Jaddaf though he was impressive when completing a double two weeks ago. WESTERN SYMPHONY won twice here last winter and reappeared with a smooth victory last month so gets the nod to follow up.
