Maydanny, a Listed winner for Mark Johnston was beaten a long way on his UAE debut at Jebel Ali in February. Tamborrada won his first three starts for Godolphin early last year and has only had two subsequent runs while York handicap winner Ethical Storm has his first start here. The latter's stablemate NIGHT OF LUXURY, who won handicaps at Epsom and Newmarket in the summer, had three runs here earlier this year and connections will be looking for a victory to get him into the Carnival. Franz Strauss made a winning debut for the Gosden's a year ago but didn't make the expected progress.
