In depth

Verdict

Satish Seemar saddles four of the eight runners and jockey bookings are unlikely to tell us much. SPEEDY MOVE won over 7f on the track in March and finished runner-up to the smart Stunned on opening day last year, form that would be good enough for this. Midlander won at Al Ain in March but hasn't done as well around here while the Godolphin-owned Way Of Wisdom disappointed in his first campaign in the Emirates. Circle Dream made a winning debut over the course and distance in 2017 but hasn't won again while Zaajer, a winner at Brighton for Owen Burrows, ran poorly in two starts here in the spring.
