        Verdict

        Grecko is unbeaten in two runs in Argentina, the second a local Group 1. He has a lot of weight to concede on his first start here and is best watched. Steve Asmussen is well known in Dubai and his TONE BROKE is worth a shout. A dual winner at Remington Park, he was only fourth behind two stable companions in a Listed race on his latest start there but finished strongly after being forced wide. This longer trip will be in his favour and he could be the one to beat. Victory Command completed a hat-trick when landing a Listed contest over 7f at Ascot and his two later defeats were at Group level, though he's never run on an artificial surface. Al Seel Legacy's gained a surprise debut victory last month but couldn't live with the exciting Walking Thunder a fortnight ago and was beaten 15 lengths. Manguzi finished six lengths in front of him in second and there doesn't seem any reason for a form reversal but Art Du Val made a successful debut at Sandown before a very good run in a Listed race at Deauville and has to be respected, though will need to do it from the outside. Estihdaaf didn't run very well here two weeks ago but that didn't look his form and an inside berth should bring about a change of fortune.
