Another Batt certainly deserves a crack at this level after beating Top Score a length three weeks ago, though the runner-up is 6lb better off and should reverse the places. Marinaresco is top rated on the back of a Group 1 victory in South Africa but Mike De Kock's horses have been needing a run. COMIN' THROUGH is a regular performer at Grade 1 level in Australia and won one at Doomben in May. His last run was in the Hong Kong Mile last month so he'll be ready for this and gets the nod. D'bai had his first run here a year ago and won a handicap in good style from stable companion Brave Zolo before taking on better company. He won a Group 3 at Haydock last summer and performed with credit at a higher level so has to be on the short-list. With a run under his belt, Janoobi is likely to show up much better as he beat Championship in the Group 2 Zabeel Mile in February and has a fitness advantage over that rival. Intisaab made a bright start here a fortnight ago when staying on strongly over 6f behind Dream Today so could go well at a price.
