In depth

Verdict

BATHRAT LEON made all in this for Japan a year ago and arrives in winning form having landed a lucrative 7f Group 3 at Riyadh last month. He had earlier finished just behind today's rival Lauda Sion at Hanshin but turned the tables in Riyadh. Their compatriot Win Carnelian landed a Tokyo Grade 3 last month but generally fails when tackling a higher level. Last year's runner-up Desert Wisdom has been gradually building towards another crack and is closely matched with Discovery Island as is Royal Mews, who Tadhg O'Shea prefers of his stable's three runners. Isolate, twice a winner in the USA, has been staying on strongly over 6f and is re-united with winning rider Tyler Gaffalione though Doug Watson has plenty of other options including the in-form Prince Eiji. Andre Fabre doesn't send horses here for the desert air and the Godolphin-owned Egot, six times a winner in France, is greatly respected.
