Litigation made all for a nine-length victory in this last year when several of these were behind including IMMORTALISED. The tables were turned over an extra furlong in April when the latter had three lengths in hand with Tradesman back in 5th. Cranesbill has never won while seven-times winner Skygazer does best at other tracks. Doublet badly needed his opening run last season while Mears was a long way behind the selection in April before scoring at Al Ain.
