        Verdict

        The veteran Switzerland was the brilliant winner of this last year, leading off the turn to storm clear with Red Le Zele coming from a long way back to finish second. The winner is now nine but showed no sign of deterioration on his reappearance in January. The runner-up was beaten just over a length by LEMON POP (NAP) in the Grade 1 February Stakes at Tokyo and the winner, who was scoring for the eighth time, appears to be getting better with age. Gunite won six of 11 starts in the USA including a Saratoga Grade 1 and produced a superb effort to finish runner-up in the Riyadh Dirt Sprint last month. Sibelius is greatly respected from his inside berth with Ryan Moore on board.
