In depth
Verdict
CLAIM THE ROSES won four times for Ed Vaughan and has done very well for new connections here and at Jebel Ali. He should make a bold bid and had the hat-trick seeking Galvanize just behind here last time though there's very little between the pair again. Sea Skimmer won a couple of minor races last year but couldn't make the transition into better company last time while though Muhtaram invariably goes well here he hasn't run since landing a handicap in China in April. Indianapolis has dropped massively in the weights and got a bit closer last time while Mazeed beat a subsequent winner over the track and trip before finding an extra 3f beyond him.
